Navico NAC-1 Autopilot Computer – The brains behind the Outboard Pilot and Drive Pilot systems

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 and 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.

• 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.
