Simrad NAC-2 Autopilot Core Pack up to 10m Boats

Take command of your waterway with the Simrad NAC-2 Autopilot Core Pack for boats up to 10 meters. This compact, powerhouse brain sits at the heart of your autopilot system, translating conditions into confident steering so you can enjoy long passages or short-handed days with less fatigue.

The NAC-2 brings finely tuned control algorithms that adapt across a broad range of sea states and weather scenarios. It interfaces seamlessly with hydraulic or mechanical drive units, or solenoid valves rated for up to 8 Amps continuous (12 Amps peak), making it compatible with a wide array of steering installs. Paired with the Precision-9 Compass, you get reliable heading data and rate-of-turn information drawn from a robust 9-axis sensor suite, delivering precise heading outputs even in challenging conditions. Heading accuracy is maintained after calibration, typically within ±2 degrees, so adjustments are predictable and smooth.

Why this core pack stands out

• Integrated autopilot intelligence — the NAC-2 runs the core autopilot algorithms, handling helm decisions so you can focus on the journey.
• Drive compatibility — designed to work with low-current hydraulic drives, mechanical drives, or solenoid-valve systems for versatile installation.
• Precise heading with robust sensing — the Precision-9 Compass provides stable heading and rate-of-turn data to Simrad, B&G, and Lowrance systems, enabling reliable autopilot performance across devices.
• Single-point installation — simple integration via a single NMEA 2000 connection, reducing wiring complexity and installation time.
• Rugged reliability — IPX7 waterproof components and solid-state sensors are built to withstand marine life, spray, and washdowns.
• Compact, ship-ready design — the NAC-2 Core Pack concentrates essential autopilot hardware into a durable unit, ideal for boats up to 33 feet.

The core pack includes the NAC-2 Autopilot Computer alongside the Precision-9 Compass and the essential cabling and mounting hardware to connect to your drive, sensors, and display ecosystem. This is a purpose-built solution for sailors and boaters who want a dependable autopilot backbone without compatibility headaches.

Ideal use scenarios include long coastal runs where steady course keeping reduces fatigue, short-handed days when hands-free helm is a welcome relief, and routine overseas trips where dependable autopilot behavior under varying wind and current becomes a trusted ally. If you’re upgrading from a basic steering setup or integrating autopilot into a compact vessel, the NAC-2 Core Pack delivers the performance, reliability, and ease of installation you demand.
