Description
We put together a fully tested Simrad NAC-3 VRF autopilot system in great used condition, that is ALMOST complete. A drive and other accessories will complete the install.
We verified NMEA0183 comms with a Furuno VX2.
***NO PUMP OR DRIVE IS INCLUDED!!!***
This computer is currently setup as a VRF or “Virtual Rudder Feedback” system. Rather than using a trouble-prone rudder reference sensor to assess rudder position, the autopilot uses a set of algorithms based on vessel characteristics recorded during the commissioning procedure and fine tuned during use to accurately estimate rudder position at any given time.
If you need a feedback you can use a Simrad RF300, RF45X, RF25N, & RF70.
This is a nice system for someone who has an existing RPU160/300 pump (or similar) and is looking to upgrade.
The NAC-3 is recommended for outboard and sterndrive boats greater than 10 meters (35 feet) in length, and is suitable for use with high-current drive pumps including the Simrad RPU160 and RPU300, mechanical drives such as the Simrad DD15, hydraulic linear drives such as the HLD2000 series, and solenoid valves.
Included in this listing:
- AP44 Control Head – Good condition, comes with suncover, black trim pieces, and 2 M right angle drop cable. There are water spots on the glass, that are more visible once the control head is off.
- NAC-3 Processor – Great condition with 4 M drop cable, you will have to cut off the female end on the cable.
- Precision-9 Compass – comes with mounting bracket and 5 M drop cable
- Micro-C Backbone kit – x2 terminators, x4 “T” connectors, and power cable
PLEASE NOTE: Customer will have to purchase pump and other hydraulic accessories to complete the system. Or you can use your existing drive as long as it is compatible with the NAC-3. Please perform factory reset and calibration after the autopilot has been installed.
Thanks for looking.
