This all-in-one Simrad autopilot pack is built for hydraulic-steered outboard and sterndrive boats up to 15 metres (50 feet), and includes everything needed to set up a complete system.

The pack pairs a high-current NAC-3 autopilot computer with the RPU-160 reversible hydraulic pump, rated for cylinder displacement of 160-550cm³. A Simrad Precision-9 solid-state compass and all NMEA 2000® cabling and connectors are included to build or extend your network backbone.

Simrad's Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology removes the need for a mechanical rudder feedback unit on many boats, simplifying installation. Setup uses automatic tuning and an on-screen commissioning process, and the Precision-9 compass continues to self-calibrate as you run.

AP44 Autopilot Controller

The included AP44 controller has a 4.1-inch full-colour display with rotary dial and button controls. It gives access to automated turn patterns, No Drift steering and depth contour tracking, and can connect to a compatible chartplotter for waypoint and route navigation.
