Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack
$1,485.00
Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack includes the NAC-3 computer, Precision 9 compass, RF25N rudder feedback, and NMEA2000 starter kit for Simrad Continuum autopilot installations on larger vessels.
Overview Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack
Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack provides the main control components required to build a Simrad Continuum autopilot system on larger vessels. The pack centers on the high-current NAC-3 autopilot computer and adds heading, rudder feedback, and NMEA2000 network hardware to support installation.
Designed for boats above 35 feet, this package is intended for operators who want a solid autopilot foundation that can be controlled from compatible Simrad displays or dedicated autopilot control heads. It supports a cleaner path to system integration than assembling the core parts one by one.
Key Features
- NAC-3 autopilot computer: The high-current autopilot computer acts as the control core for heavier or more demanding steering systems.
- Precision 9 compass: The included compass supplies heading and rate-of-turn data for more stable autopilot performance.
- RF25N rudder feedback: Dedicated rudder position feedback helps improve steering accuracy and system response.
- NMEA2000 starter kit: The included network hardware simplifies initial autopilot integration with compatible marine electronics.
- Flexible control options: The system can be managed through compatible Simrad MFDs or supported autopilot displays such as AP44, IS42, and OP12.
Applications
This core pack is suited for larger cruising boats, sportfishing vessels, and other helms where dependable autopilot performance is needed for longer passages or repeated offshore use. The included compass and rudder feedback hardware help support more precise steering control.
It is also useful for retrofit installations where the owner wants to build a Simrad autopilot system around the required core components first, then add displays and steering hardware to match the vessel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack
Who is Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack intended for on board?
Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack provides the main components needed to start a Simrad Continuum autopilot installation on larger vessels. It combines the NAC-3 computer with heading, rudder feedback, and NMEA2000 networking hardware so owners can build the rest of the system around a complete core package.
What does this core pack include for a new autopilot build?
This pack includes the NAC-3 autopilot computer, Precision 9 compass, RF25N rudder feedback sensor, and an NMEA2000 starter kit. Those parts cover the main control, heading, rudder-position, and networking elements needed before adding compatible displays and steering hardware.
What networking support does this product offer?
This product lists NMEA2000 starter kit included, which gives it a clearer place inside a broader electronics installation. That matters when autopilot data needs to work alongside compatible navigation sources instead of remaining limited to one local control point.
What kind of vessel is this pack intended for?
The product data places this pack on boats 35 feet and above, especially where a larger-vessel autopilot foundation is needed. It makes sense for owners planning a retrofit or new installation who want the main core components together before choosing displays and drive hardware.
