Simrad

<h3>Simrad: Precision Marine Electronics for Every Boater</h3><p><strong>Simrad Yachting</strong> has been a cornerstone of marine electronics since its founding in 1947. A world-class manufacturer of marine electronics, Simrad's product lineup spans navigation systems, fishfinders, chartplotters, radar, sonar, and more. Originally rooted in Norway, the brand has grown into a globally recognized name trusted by offshore anglers, weekend cruisers, and professional mariners alike.</p><h3>Integrated Systems Built for the Helm</h3><p>The Simrad marine electronics system is designed to serve as the central hub of a boat, smoothly integrating all equipment and functions into a single screen — connecting sonar, radar, autopilot, engine data, digital switching, lighting, entertainment, and more. This philosophy of seamless integration sets Simrad apart: rather than a collection of standalone devices, their ecosystem is engineered to communicate and work together.</p><p>At the heart of many Simrad setups are their <a href="/200473-fishfinders-gps-chartplotters-simrad-11289">Fishfinders, GPS &amp; Chartplotters</a>. Simrad Yachting offers a variety of chartplotter and fishfinder options designed to meet the needs of every type of boat and activity, with key considerations including screen size, intended use, and the ability to integrate with other onboard devices. From the approachable GO series for smaller sportboats to the flagship NSS and NSO multifunction displays built for demanding offshore conditions, there is a Simrad chartplotter for every helm.</p><h3>Radar, Autopilot, and Advanced Navigation</h3><p>For situational awareness and hands-free operation on the water, Simrad's Radars &amp; Autopilots represent some of the brand's most respected technology. Simrad's CHIRP-enabled Broadband Sounder fishfinder technology, StructureScan 3D sonar imaging, and high-resolution Halo radar give boaters the tools to search deeper, wider, and farther. The HALO radar series in particular is renowned for its solid-state pulse compression technology, delivering exceptional target separation and collision avoidance capabilities.</p><p>Complementing the radar suite, Simrad's Autopilot Components bring precision steering control to vessels of all sizes. The AP44 Autopilot Controller combines Simrad Continuum steering technology with a full-color display, intuitive rotary dial and button controls, and a modern glass helm design. Whether navigating a long offshore passage or maneuvering in tight quarters, Simrad's autopilot lineup delivers reliable, responsive control.</p><h3>Sounder Modules and Navigation Accessories</h3><p>For boaters who want to expand an existing system, Simrad offers dedicated Sounder Modules that add powerful sonar capability to compatible multifunction displays. Simrad's sounder and processor modules are designed to integrate across networked helm setups, supporting dual monitors and dual radar systems while sharing cartography data throughout the network. These modules make it straightforward to upgrade sonar performance without replacing an entire display system.</p><p>Rounding out the ecosystem, Simrad's <a href="/200714-navigation-parts-accessories-simrad-11289">Navigation Parts &amp; Accessories</a> — including transducers, mounting hardware, cables, and antennas — ensure every component of the system is installed cleanly and performs to its full potential. Simrad displays and electronics are designed to network seamlessly via NMEA 2000&reg; and Ethernet, making accessories an essential part of building a cohesive, high-performance helm.</p><h3>Why Boaters Choose Simrad</h3><p>Out on the water, the gear you choose makes the difference between uncertainty and confidence — and Simrad's commitment to quality and reliability is built to get you there. Whether you are rigging a bass boat for tournament fishing, outfitting a center console for offshore runs, or building out the helm of a luxury cruiser, Simrad's depth of product and proven integration make them a go-to brand for serious mariners worldwide.</p>

Product Details

The Simrad NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is the control center of your autopilot system, providing the processing power and electronics needed to operate hydraulic steering pumps, mechanical drive units, and solenoid valves. Designed for vessels up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length, this compact computer delivers reliable steering performance powered by Simrad's advanced Continuum steering technology.

Key Features:

  • Recommended for boats up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length
  • 8 amp continuous output, 16 amp peak capacity
  • 3 amp maximum clutch output
  • Compatible with low-current hydraulic pumps, mechanical drives, hydraulic linear drives, and solenoid valves
  • Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology eliminates need for separate feedback unit on outboards and sterndrives
  • Supports Simrad RF25 rudder feedback units and resistive feedback sensors
  • NMEA 2000® connectivity for seamless integration with heading sensors, controllers, and displays
  • Plug-and-play connectors for simplified installation
  • Powered by Simrad Continuum steering algorithm with 60+ years of autopilot development

Advanced Steering Technology: The Continuum steering algorithm represents decades of Norwegian autopilot engineering expertise, continuously analyzing rudder position and vessel movement to make intelligent steering corrections. This ensures smooth, efficient course-keeping in varying sea conditions.

Flexible Drive Compatibility: The NAC-2 works with multiple drive types including the Simrad RPU80 pump, SD10 mechanical drive, HLD350 hydraulic linear drive, and various solenoid valve systems. The standard 8-amp continuous output handles most installations on smaller vessels.

Simplified Installation: Virtual Rudder Feedback technology is particularly valuable for outboard and sterndrive applications where mechanical feedback installation is challenging. For inboard vessels or applications requiring physical feedback, the unit supports NMEA 2000® connected RF25 units and resistive feedback sensors. Industry-standard networking allows components to be located anywhere aboard with minimal wiring.

Note: This unit supports NMEA 2000® connectivity only; it does not support NMEA 0183 or RF300 feedback units.
