Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer f/Steer By Wire Product Description

Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer for Steer-By-Wire Electronic Vessel Control Systems

Transform your electronic vessel control system into a precision autopilot solution with the Simrad NAC-D Autopilot Computer (Model 000-15621-001). Engineered specifically for steer-by-wire systems, this digital autopilot computer delivers professional-grade navigation performance with simplified installation and advanced steering algorithms.

Revolutionary Steer-By-Wire Technology

The NAC-D represents the cutting edge of marine autopilot technology, designed exclusively for boats equipped with electronic vessel control systems including SeaStar® Optimus®, Yanmar® VC10/JC10, Volvo® IPS/EVC, and Yamaha® helm master/single-engine control systems. Unlike traditional hydraulic autopilot systems, the NAC-D communicates digitally with your vessel's steering system for precise, responsive control.

Effortless Installation & Setup

Experience the simplicity of professional autopilot installation with just two Micro-C connector connections. The NAC-D eliminates the complexity and cost of traditional autopilot installations by requiring:

  • No additional hydraulic pump installation
  • No rudder sensor mounting or calibration
  • No dockside rudder calibration procedures
  • Plug-and-play NMEA 2000 network integration

Advanced Continuum® Steering Technology

Powered by Simrad's proprietary Continuum® steering algorithm, the NAC-D delivers exceptional autopilot performance based on over 70 years of marine navigation expertise. The system automatically switches between dual speed profiles, optimizing steering response for both low-speed maneuvering and high-speed cruising conditions.

SteadySteer™ Feature

The innovative SteadySteer™ functionality allows immediate manual steering intervention without disengaging the autopilot system. Take temporary control for course corrections, then seamlessly return to autopilot mode - perfect for navigating traffic or making quick adjustments.

Comprehensive Navigation Capabilities

Execute sophisticated navigation patterns with professional precision:

  • Waypoint Navigation: Direct steering to GPS waypoints
  • Heading Hold: Maintain precise compass courses
  • Advanced Turn Patterns: U-turns, spiral turns, and custom patterns
  • Zigzag Functionality: Automated zigzag patterns for specific navigation requirements
  • Track Following: Follow predetermined routes with accuracy

Flexible Control Options

Choose your preferred control interface from Simrad's comprehensive autopilot controller range:

  • AP™ 44 Controller: Compact dedicated autopilot control
  • AP 48 Controller: Advanced autopilot interface with expanded functionality
  • Multifunction Display Integration: Control directly from NSS™ and NSO™ chartplotters
