Product details


Navico's NAC-3 VRF Autopilot Core bundle consists of an NAC-3 autopilot computer, a Precision-9 compass and a NMEA2000 backbone starter kit.

NAC-3 Autopilot Computer
The NAC-3 autopilot computer is the centre of your Navico autopilot system. Through reflex control algorithms, the NAC-3 steers your yacht in various weather and sea conditions. Designed for boats up to ten metres (35 feet) in length, the NAC-3 is suitable for low-current hydraulic steering pumps, mechanical drive units, or solenoid valves, with a constant current of 30 amps (50 amps max.). In addition, the NAC-3 comes with an NMEA2000 interface for easy connection to course sensors and rudder feedback units. Simple plug and play installation. Input voltage: 12 - 24 volts.

Precision-9 Compass
The Precision-9 Compass delivers accurate heading and rotation speed information to autopilots, radars and navigation systems via NMEA 2000®. The solid-state sensors continuously measure movement and course parameters via nine axes. In addition, the Precision-9 compass also provides information about heeling, rolling and pitching motions on compatible devices. An easily adjustable mounting bracket and connection via a single data cable allow installation on board almost every boat, including installation on the mast of boats with steel hulls.
The Precision-9 compass is waterproof (IPX7). (See SVB item no. 81519).

NMEA2000 Starter Kit
The NMEA2000 Backbone Starter Kit consists of a power cable, a 4.5 meter backbone cable, three T-pieces, and two terminators (terminal resistance).

satisfaction with NAC-3
I can only rate satisfaction with experience after a while. But everything looks very good.

Very bad product for an enormous price
A very poor product for a tremendous price. All the electronics are technically from the 1970s. That wouldn't be so bad if the product were tried and tested and reliable. But this is anything but! The Navico engineers clearly don't realize that they produce electronics for ships where temperature fluctuations can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius, and therefore use push-in screw terminals. (The website shows the product with the socket, which isn't true.) Regatta sailors certainly praise this product; anyone would do it for these sponsorship grants. Navico's recipe for success. I will never buy products from this manufacturer again.

Will this work with a Hallberg-Rassy 352?

The NAC-3 is well able for a 352...important that you understand that the Rudder feedback sensor is NOT included in the kit!
