The Simrad 000-13337-001 Autopilot Core Pack includes all essential components needed to build a complete Simrad Continuum autopilot system for outboard and sterndrive vessels up to 35 feet in length. Simply add a compatible hydraulic pump or mechanical drive unit for your steering system, and select either a dedicated autopilot controller or Simrad multifunction display to complete your installation.
This comprehensive pack includes the NAC-2 autopilot computer, Precision-9 solid-state compass module, and all necessary NMEA 2000 cables and connectors for plug-and-play installation.
NAC-2 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-2 serves as the central processing unit for your autopilot system, containing all electronics required to operate hydraulic steering pumps or mechanical drive units while interfacing with heading sensors and rudder feedback components. Designed specifically for vessels up to 35 feet, the NAC-2 delivers 8 amps continuous and 16 amps peak output, making it compatible with low-current pumps, mechanical drives, hydraulic linear drives, and solenoid valves.
Key Features:
- Simrad Continuum steering technology for precise autopilot performance
- 8A continuous output, 16A peak power delivery
- Clutch output capability (3A maximum)
- Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology eliminates need for separate feedback unit on outboard and sterndrive boats
- Compatible with Simrad RPU80 pumps, SD10 mechanical drives, HLD350 hydraulic linear drives, and solenoid valves
- Supports Simrad RF25 rudder feedback units for inboard applications
- NMEA 2000 networking for seamless integration with heading sensors, controllers, and multifunction displays
- Plug-and-play connectors simplify installation and minimize wiring complexity
- Compatible with Simrad 80 Series remote controls
Technical Specifications:
- Voltage: 12/24V DC
- Maximum Drive Current: 8A continuous / 16A peak
- Clutch Output: 12/24V DC, 10mA minimum, 3A maximum
- Solenoid Support: Yes
- Network Connectivity: NMEA 2000 only (does not support NMEA 0183)
- Recommended Vessel Length: Up to 35 feet (10 meters)
The Precision-9 solid-state compass provides accurate heading information with no moving parts for reliable long-term performance. The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors enable straightforward installation across your vessel's network.
