Description
This pack includes all of the core components you need to upgrade your boat with a continuum autopilot system, designed for rudder-steered vessels above 10m (35ft) in length. Just add a drive unit to suit your steering system, and choose a dedicated autopilot controller or Simrad multifunction display.
NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack
This pack includes the Simrad NAC-3 autopilot computer, RF25N rudder feedback unit, Precision-9 solid-state compass, plus all cabling and connectors required to build an NMEA 2000 network backbone or connect your autopilot system to an existing NMEA 2000 network. This pack is recommended for rudder-steered boats above 10m (35ft) in length, and is suitable for use with high-current drive pumps including the Simrad RPU160 and RPU300, mechanical drives such as the Simrad DD15, hydraulic linear drives such as the HLD2000 series, and solenoid valves.
Multiple Control Options
Choose from a range of dedicated autopilot controllers, or control your autopilot from your existing Simrad multifunction display. Install extra autopilot stations, ideal for dual-helm vessels, or add the Simrad WR10 wireless remote for instant steering and autopilot control from anywhere on board.
Easy Installation and Setup
Industry-standard NMEA 2000 networking and NMEA 0183 input offer reliable connectivity to sensors, autopilot controllers, and multifunction displays located anywhere on board. Auto-tuning simplifies setup and ensures optimal steering performance, while automatic compass calibration continuously improves heading accuracy as you travel.
