Intuitive Autopilot Control
The point of a dedicated autopilot controller is to enable immediate access to auto-steering functionality, placing key controls within easy reach. Designed with that purpose in mind, the AP44 includes an intuitive interface with just four buttons and a push-to-enter rotary control dial
Automated Turn Patterns
Your Simrad autopilot can do much more than keep you on course. The AP44 gives you easy access to a range of built-in turn patterns designed to assist with fishing, diving, or just making a quick and efficient U-turn.
Simrad Continuum Steering
Every Simrad steering innovation builds upon a legacy encompassing over sixty years of autopilot development, which continues today at Simrad Yachting's autopilot research hub in Norway.
Easy Setup with Auto-Tuning Calibration
Autopilot installation and commissioning don't have to be difficult or time-consuming. The AP44 offers automatic tuning to ensure optimal auto-steering performance, with a simple on-screen commissioning process including dockside configuration and sea trial.
NAC-2
The NAC-2 Autopilot Computer is the brain behind your autopilot system. NAC-2 contains the control algorithms developed to helm a yacht across a broad range of weather conditions and sea-states, alongside the electronics needed to operate a hydraulic or mechanical drive unit, while also interfacing with other components including heading sensors and rudder feedback units. The NAC-2 was designed for boats up to 10M (33') in length and is suitable for low-current hydraulic drives, mechanical drives, or solenoid valves with a current rating of 8 Amps continuous (12 Amps peak).
Precision-9
The Precision-9 Compass supplies heading and rate-of-turn information to Simrad, B G, and Lowrance autopilot, radar, and navigation systems. Based on reliable solid-state sensor technology, this compact compass offers easy installation aboard any vessel
PUMP-2 MK2
The PUMP-2 MK2 Type 1 is a reversible hydraulic steering pump for boats up to 35ft.
Unique Selling Points:
- Heading, Rate Of Turn (ROT), roll, and pitch output over NMEA 2000
- Heading and ROT calculated using sensor data from 9 axes of rotation and motion
- Accurate and reliable solid-state sensor technology
- Heading accuracy after calibration
- Easily adjustable mounting bracket allows bulkhead or up-mast installation
- IPX7 waterproof. Best in class
- Simple installation with a single NMEA 2000 connection
The Simrad AP44 VRF Medium Capacity Autopilot Pack offers advanced navigation and steering automation tailored for vessels up to 33 feet. Designed with a modern glass helm aesthetic, the system features a full-color 4.1-inch display with optically bonded technology, providing clear visibility in various lighting conditions. The easy-to-use rotary dial combined with four control buttons allows for intuitive autopilot adjustments, enabling seamless operation during your voyage.
This autopilot system integrates Simrad Continuum steering technology, built upon over sixty years of innovation, ensuring precise and reliable control across diverse sea conditions. The system's automated turn patterns are perfect for fishing, diving, or quick course changes, while features like No Drift steering and depth contour tracking enhance navigational accuracy. Set up is straightforward with auto-tuning and calibration, minimizing installation time and ensuring optimal performance from the start.
The NAC-2 autopilot computer acts as the system's core, managing control algorithms for effective helm operation and interfacing seamlessly with heading sensors and drive units. Suitable for boats up to 10 meters (33 feet), the NAC-2 supports low-current hydraulic and mechanical drives, and solenoid valves with an 8 Amp continuous rating. Complementing the autopilot, the Precision-9 compass provides highly accurate heading and rate-of-turn data through solid-state sensor technology, ensuring reliable orientation even in challenging conditions. The PUMP-2 MK2 Type 1 reversible hydraulic steering pump is ideal for boats up to 35 feet, facilitating smooth and responsive steering.
Key features include NMEA 2000 connectivity, allowing integration with other marine electronics, and IPX7 waterproofing for durability in harsh marine environments.
