Simrad NAC-3 VRF core pack

This kit contains the basic components needed to install a Continuum autopilot system on your boat. The contents of the kit are designed for outboard boats over 10 meters (35 feet) in length. Simply add the appropriate control unit for your steering system and choose a Simrad autopilot control panel or multifunction display.

NAC-3 autopilot basic package

This kit includes a Simrad NAC-3 autopilot computer, a Precision-9 solid-state compass, and all the cables and connectors needed to create a NMEA 2000® backbone or connect the autopilot to an existing NMEA 2000® network. This kit is recommended for outboard boats over 10 meters (35 feet) in length and is suitable for use with high-flow duty pumps (e.g. Simrad RPU160 and RPU300), mechanical drives (e.g. Simrad DD15), hydraulic linear duty units (e.g. HLD2000 series), and solenoid valves.

Multiple control functions

A wide range of autopilot control panels are available. You can also control the autopilot from your existing Simrad multifunction display. You can install an additional autopilot station, which is a good solution for dual-helm vessels, or control the vessel and autopilot from anywhere on the boat with Simrad's WR10 wireless remote control.

Easy to install and configure

Simrad's Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology eliminates the need for a mechanical rudder feedback sensor on boats equipped with outboard engines (outboard or sterndrive). VRF technology greatly simplifies autopilot installation and provides uncompromised performance for Continuum steering. Industry-standard NMEA 2000® connectivity and NMEA 0183® input allow for simple connection of steering sensors, autopilot control panels and multifunction displays to any location on the boat. Auto-tuning simplifies setup and ensures optimal steering performance, while automatic compass calibration continuously improves heading accuracy during the voyage.
