Instruments
NAC-1 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-1 is the intelligent core of your autopilot system. Housed in a compact, IPX5-rated watertight casing, this robust computer contains the steering technology and electronics needed to operate the hydraulic pump. It processes data from the heading sensor and your HDS display to deliver responsive and accurate steering adjustments, ensuring your vessel stays locked on course.
Point-1 AP Heading and GPS Sensor
This advanced sensor is the key to the system´s incredible accuracy. The Point-1 AP provides extremely precise and rapid updates for both boat heading and GPS position. This dual-function capability ensures smoother and more accurate course-holding, a critical factor for autopilot performance, chart stabilization, and overlaying radar data accurately on your chartplotter.
