Imagine cruising your outboard-powered boat up to 30 feet with effortless precision, freeing your hands for fishing, scanning the horizon, or simply enjoying the ride. The NAC-1 Outboard Hydraulic Autopilot Pack transforms manual steering into smart, reliable automation, tailored for single-engine setups. Whether you're battling choppy waters or plotting a long coastal run, this system delivers responsive control that feels intuitive and built to last.
Crafted for real-world boating, it integrates seamlessly with hydraulic steering systems common on outboards, using high-efficiency components to minimize noise and power draw. Boaters rave about its plug-and-play simplicity—no more wrestling with wires or custom fittings—letting you focus on the water instead of the install.
At its core, the NAC-1 computer processes data from the included Point-1 sensor, which combines precise heading and GPS for rock-solid stability even in rough seas. It commands the MKII pump to adjust the hydraulic ram smoothly, maintaining your course with minimal corrections. Paired with NMEA 2000 Micro-C networking, it talks flawlessly to Simrad or compatible MFDs, pulling in waypoints and wind data for adaptive steering.
For outboard enthusiasts, this means safer fatigue-free operation on extended hauls, better fuel efficiency from steady headings, and the confidence to fish or relax while the system handles the helm.
Skip the pro install fees with components designed for weekend warriors. The kit includes pre-terminated cables in multiple lengths, terminators, and a full hydraulic fitting set for ORB systems. Mount the compact NAC-1 near your helm, connect the pump to existing steering lines, wire the power, and network via drop cables. Most setups take a few hours, with clear integration for popular outboard brands.
"Pro install? Not necessary. Plugged it in, calibrated via the MFD, and it tracked like a pro on my first outing." – Typical user feedback from forums.
