Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to disengage an autopilot drive of a mobile structure based on a steering wheel torque applied manually by a user. A system includes a logic device in communication with a torque sensor unit, such as a strain gauge, load pin, or load cell. Sensor data and/or signals provided by the TSU are used to determine a force applied to a steering mechanism of the mobile structure while the mobile structure is on a heading provided by an autopilot drive of the mobile structure. The force may be a torque applied to the steering mechanism corresponding to manual control of the mobile structure. The system disengages the autopilot device of the mobile structure based, at least in part, on the determined force.
