Simrad NAC 2 VRF Core Pack autopilot

SIMRAD NAC-2 VRF Core Pack Autopilot System

Navigate with confidence using the SIMRAD NAC-2 VRF Core Pack, a precision autopilot for outboard and sterndrive boats up to 10m. This comprehensive system features the NAC-2 Autopilot Computer with Continuum steering technology for smooth, accurate navigation. Its Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) simplifies installation by eliminating a separate sensor. A Precision-9 Compass ensures accurate heading data, and the PUMP-1 hydraulic pump manages steering. Seamlessly integrates with Simrad MFDs via NMEA 2000 for easy control of heading, waypoints, and routes, enhancing safety and enjoyment on the water.

Experience unparalleled control and reduce fatigue on long journeys with this intelligent autopilot solution. Engineered for reliability and performance, the NAC-2 Core Pack is the ideal upgrade for smaller vessels with hydraulic steering. The advanced Continuum steering algorithm at its heart delivers responsive and predictable performance, making smoother turns and maintaining your course with exceptional accuracy, even in challenging sea conditions. This not only enhances safety but also optimizes your route for improved fuel efficiency. The system’s plug-and-play connectors and innovative VRF technology make for a streamlined, cost-effective installation, getting you back on the water faster. Take command of your vessel and enjoy every moment of your trip, from coastal cruising to offshore fishing.
