Simrad NAC-3 Autopilot Core Pack

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.
