Simrad NAC-1 Autopilot Computer 000-11769-001

NAC-1 Autopilot Computer

The NAC-1 is the centre of your autopilot system, containing the electronics needed to operate and interface with other key components. It has been designed for hydraulic or cable-steered boats up to nine metres (30 feet) in length, and works with Simrad displays to provide a fully integrated autopilot solution. 

Easy Installation

Plug-and-play connectors facilitate easy installation, minimising the wiring necessary to install your autopilot system. Industry-standard NMEA 2000® networking offers simple connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedback units, and multifunction displays located anywhere on board.

Hydraulic & 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-1 reversible hydraulic pump for hydraulic-steered outboards, or the HELM-1 drive unit for cable-steered vessels.

Virtual Rudder Feedback

Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need to install a separate rudder feedback unit aboard outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard) boats with planing hulls. This reduces overall autopilot system cost and complexity, and is ideal where a feedback unit is impractical due to mechanical constraints.

Minimum Product Requirements:

A drive unit, heading sensor, NMEA 2000® network, and compatible autopilot controller or multifunction display are required to create a complete autopilot system. Some vessels may also require a rudder feedback unit.

Features:

• Reliable autopilot performance based on Continuum Steering technology


• Recommended for boats up to 9 metres (30 feet) in length


• Compatible with the Simrad PUMP-1 reversible hydraulic pump and HELM-1 cable steer drive unit


• Virtual rudder feedback for simplified installation aboard outboard and sterndrive boats


• Supports Simrad RF25 rudder feedback units


• Plug-and-play connectors for easy installation


• NMEA 2000® connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedbacks, and multifunction displays

The Simrad NAC-1 Autopilot Computer is the heart of your autopilot system, designed specifically for hydraulic or cable-steered boats up to 30 feet in length. It seamlessly interfaces with Simrad displays, offering a fully integrated autopilot solution that enhances your boating experience. With its advanced Continuum Steering technology, the NAC-1 guarantees reliable performance, ensuring you stay on course with minimal effort.

Installation is a breeze with the NAC-1, thanks to its plug-and-play connectors that drastically reduce the wiring needed for setup. The industry-standard NMEA 2000? networking simplifies connectivity to essential components such as heading sensors and multifunction displays located throughout your vessel. Additionally, the Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need for a separate rudder feedback unit in many cases, making it ideal for boats where space or mechanical constraints are an issue.

To create a complete autopilot system, you'll need a drive unit, a heading sensor, a NMEA 2000? network, and a compatible autopilot controller. Some vessels may additionally require a rudder feedback unit. Elevate your boating experience with the innovative and reliable Simrad NAC-1 Autopilot Computer.
