The NAC-1 is thecentre of your autopilot system, containing the electronics needed to operateand interface with other key components. It has been designed for hydraulic orcable-steered boats up to nine metres (30 feet) in length, and works withSimrad displays to provide a fully integrated autopilot solution.
Easy InstallationPlug-and-play connectors facilitate easy installation, minimising the wiringnecessary to install your autopilot system. Industry-standard NMEA 2000®networking offers simple connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedbackunits, and multifunction displays located anywhere on board.
Hydraulic and Cable Steer Options
The NAC-1 Autopilot Computer is recommended for boats up to 9 metres (30 feet)in length. It been designed to reliably drive either the Simrad PUMP-1reversible hydraulic pump for hydraulic-steered outboards, or the HELM-1 driveunit for cable-steered vessels.
Virtual Rudder Feedback
Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need to install aseparate rudder feedback unit aboard outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard)boats with planing hulls. This reduces overall autopilot system cost andcomplexity, and is ideal where a feedback unit is impractical due to mechanicalconstraints.
