Raymarine Captures Best Autopilot award at NMEA 2007 10/29/2007

Merrimack, N.H. - October 24, 2007 - Raymarine, a world leader in marine electronics, today announced that NMEA named Raymarine's ST8002 as the Best Autopilot for 2007. The all-new autopilot puts total helm control at a captain's fingertips with an easy-to-use rotary control for precision course changes and convenient power steering control. The ST8002's oversized LCD display delivers large high contrast characters of pilot status, compass heading and user defined data pages, transforming the autopilot into a versatile navigation instrument repeater display. Available in both a surface and flush mount configuration, the ST8002 features an industrial design that cosmetically matches Raymarine's instruments and multifunction displays, making it a perfect addition to any Raymarine system.

"Raymarine is honored to once again be recognized by NMEA and the recreational boating industry for our innovative and reliable products," said Terry Carlson, president of Raymarine, Inc. "Our ability to take home the Best in Show award year after year is a true testament to our dedication to designing the most innovative and high quality marine electronics available today."
