Simrad AP44 VRF Medium Capacity Pack, Precision 9, RPU80, NAC-2

000-13291-001
A complete medium-capacity AP44 autopilot pack for boats up to 10 m (33 ft), comprising the AP44 controller, NAC-2 autopilot computer, Precision-9 compass and RPU80 reversible hydraulic pump. The NAC-2 drives low-current pumps and supports Virtual Rudder Feedback, delivering Simrad Continuum steering over NMEA 2000.

Description

This medium-capacity pack contains everything needed to fit a Simrad AP44 autopilot to a smaller hydraulic-steered boat. It pairs the AP44 colour controller with the NAC-2 autopilot computer, a Precision-9 heading sensor and an RPU80 reversible hydraulic pump, making a complete system for vessels up to 10 metres (33 ft).

The NAC-2 computer is designed for low-current pumps, mechanical drives and solenoid valves, rated to 8 A continuous and 16 A peak, and supports Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback so a separate rudder feedback unit is not always needed. Where a physical sensor is preferred the system accepts the RF25. Continuum steering technology delivers automated turn patterns, No Drift steering that holds course against wind and tide, and full integration with compatible Simrad displays over NMEA 2000.
