Description
NAC-1 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-1 is the centre of your autopilot system, containing the electronics needed to operate and interface with other key components. It has been designed for hydraulic or cable-steered boats up to nine metres (30 feet) in length, and works with Simrad displays to provide a fully integrated autopilot solution.
Easy Installation
Plug-and-play connectors facilitate easy installation, minimising the wiring necessary to install your autopilot system. Industry-standard NMEA 2000 networking offers simple connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedback units, and multifunction displays located anywhere on board.
Hydraulic Cable Steer Options
The NAC-1 Autopilot Computer is recommended for boats up to 9 metres (30 feet) in length. It been designed to reliably drive either the Simrad PUMP-1 reversible hydraulic pump for hydraulic-steered outboards, or the HELM-1 drive unit for cable-steered vessels.
Virtual Rudder Feedback
Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need to install a separate rudder feedback unit aboard outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard) boats with planing hulls. This reduces overall autopilot system cost and complexity, and is ideal where a feedback unit is impractical due to mechanical constraints.
Minimum Product Requirements:
A drive unit, heading sensor, NMEA 2000 network, and compatible autopilot controller or multifunction display are required to create a complete autopilot system. Some vessels may also require a rudder feedback unit.
Features:
- Reliable autopilot performance based on Continuum Steering technology
- Recommended for boats up to 9 metres (30 feet) in length
- Compatible with the Simrad PUMP-1 reversible hydraulic pump and HELM-1 cable steer drive unit
- Virtual rudder feedback for simplified installation aboard outboard and sterndrive boats
- Supports Simrad RF25 rudder feedback units
- Plug-and-play connectors for easy installation
- NMEA 2000 connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedbacks, and multifunction displays

The Simrad NAC-1 Autopilot Computer serves as the central hub for your boat’s autopilot system, providing reliable and seamless control for vessels up to nine meters (30 feet). It integrates with Simrad displays to deliver a fully coordinated autopilot experience, handling essential electronics and communication with other key components. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the NAC-1 features plug-and-play connectors that facilitate straightforward installation, reducing wiring complexity. Its industry-standard NMEA 2000 network connectivity enables easy integration with heading sensors, rudder feedback units, and multifunction displays located anywhere on the vessel.
Engineered to support both hydraulic and cable-steered boats, the NAC-1 can work with the Simrad PUMP-1 reversible hydraulic pump for hydraulic outboards or the HELM-1 drive unit for cable-steered vessels. Its versatile design ensures dependable autopilot operation across a variety of boat configurations. The inclusion of Simrad Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need for a dedicated rudder feedback unit on outboard and sterndrive boats with planing hulls, reducing system cost and installation complexity. This feature is particularly beneficial where mechanical constraints prevent the installation of traditional feedback units.
To complete a functional autopilot system, vessels require a drive unit, heading sensor, NMEA 2000 network, and a compatible autopilot controller or multifunction display. Some boats may also need a rudder feedback unit for enhanced precision. The NAC-1 is equipped with Continuum Steering technology, ensuring dependable performance even in challenging conditions. Its compatibility with the Simrad RF25 rudder feedback units further enhances system flexibility and accuracy.
Included in the package are the NAC-1 Course Computer and a 2-meter power cable, making setup more convenient. Whether upgrading an existing system or installing a new autopilot setup, the NAC-1 provides a robust, streamlined solution suitable for small to medium-sized boats. Its compact form factor and straightforward connectivity make it an ideal choice for boat owners seeking reliable autopilot operation with minimal installation effort.
