Lowrance NAC-3 Autopilot Computer

The NAC-3 Autopilot Computer is the brain behind your autopilot system. NAC-3 contains the control algorithms developed to drive a boat 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-3 was designed for boats 33 feet or greater in length and is rated to operate high-current hydraulic drives, mechanical drive units, and solenoid valves with a current rating of 30 Amps continuous (50 Amps peak).

Note: 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:

• Recommended for boats above 10 metres (35 feet) in length
• High-current output of 30 amps continuous, 50 amps peak
• Clutch output (3 amps maximum)
• Compatible with high-current drive pumps, mechanical drives, hydraulic linear drives, and solenoid valves
• Virtual rudder feedback for simplified installation aboard outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard) boats
• Supports RF25 rudder feedback units
• NMEA 2000® connectivity to heading sensors, rudder feedbacks, dedicated autopilot controllers, and multifunction displays
• NMEA 0183® input
