Simrad NAC-2 Autopilot Core Pack: Precision Steering for Boats Up to 35 Feet

Take the helm with confidence and experience a new level of on-water freedom with the Simrad NAC-2 Autopilot Core Pack. This comprehensive package serves as the intelligent core of your boat´s autopilot system, specifically engineered for vessels up to 10 metres (35 feet) in length. Designed to be the brains behind the operation, the NAC-2 Core Pack empowers you to navigate more efficiently, reduce fatigue on long passages, and focus on the joy of boating, whether you´re cruising coastal waters or searching for the perfect fishing spot.

At the heart of this system is Simrad´s advanced Continuum steering technology. This sophisticated algorithm is the result of over 70 years of autopilot expertise, delivering incredibly responsive, smooth, and precise course corrections. It intelligently mimics the actions of an expert helmsman, making constant, minute adjustments that prevent the jerky, over-corrective steering common in lesser systems. The result is a more comfortable ride, improved fuel efficiency, and the assurance that your vessel is holding its course in a wide range of sea conditions.

This core pack includes the essential components to build a robust Simrad autopilot. The NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is a powerful yet compact unit that reliably processes all incoming data and controls your steering system. It offers broad compatibility, supporting low-current hydraulic pumps, mechanical drives, and solenoid valves, making it a versatile choice for a wide variety of inboard and outboard boats.

Also included is the high-performance Precision-9 Solid-State Compass. More than just a compass, this sensor provides highly accurate heading, rate-of-turn, pitch, and roll information to the NAC-2 computer. This multi-axis data allows the autopilot to react intelligently to the boat´s motion, ensuring superior course-keeping accuracy even in rough seas.
