SIMRAD AP44 VRF Medium Capacity Autopilot Pack

Elevate your boating experience with the Simrad Continuum Autopilot System, a comprehensive pack designed for outboard- or sterndrive-powered boats up to 35 feet in length. This all-inclusive autopilot package includes essential components for an enhanced and sophisticated autopilot system.

The AP44 Autopilot Controller takes center stage, providing an intuitive interface with its 4.1-inch diagonal full-color display and rotary control dial. Effortlessly set your heading and access advanced pilot modes, enhancing your control and navigation capabilities on the water.

Crafted for hydraulic-steered outboard and sterndrive vessels, this medium-capacity pack includes the RPU-80 hydraulic steering pump, ensuring efficient and precise steering. The NAC-2 autopilot computer serves as the central intelligence of the system, managing the electronics required to operate a hydraulic steering pump or mechanical drive unit. It seamlessly interfaces with other components, including heading sensors and rudder feedback units.

The Precision-9 solid-state compass is included for accurate navigation and heading information, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the autopilot system. Additionally, the pack contains all necessary NMEA 2000 cables and connectors, streamlining the installation process for your convenience.

Tailored for boats up to 35 feet in length, the NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is designed to handle low-current pumps, mechanical drive units, or solenoid valves, providing a reliable capacity (eight amps continuous/16 amps peak). This ensures efficient operation, particularly suited for vessels of this size.

In summary, the Simrad Continuum Autopilot System offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for upgrading your boat's autopilot capabilities, providing an elevated level of control and navigation convenience.
