Simrad AP44 VRF Pack High Capacity

SKU: 000-13562-001

Add a Simrad autopilot to your boat with this all-in-one pack for hydraulic-steered outboard and sterndrive vessels up to 15 metres (50 feet). Set your heading and access advanced pilot modes with the intuitive AP44 Autopilot Controller, featuring a 4.1-inch full colour display and rotary control dial.

Key Features

Ideal for outboard and I/O boats up to 15 metres (50 feet)
Complete pack includes everything you need to get started
Virtual Rudder Feedback simplifies installation
Easy setup with automatic tuning and compass calibration
Features automated turn patterns for fuel-efficient, hands-free manoeuvres
No Drift steering holds your course against wind and tide
Depth contour tracking makes it easy to fish ledges and drop-offs

Complete High-Capacity System Pack

This complete pack includes everything you need to build a Simrad autopilot system for hydraulic-steered outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard) boats up to 15 metres, or 50 feet. The RPU-160 reversible hydraulic pump handles cylinder displacement of 160-550 cm³, and is driven by the high-current NAC-3 autopilot computer. This pack also includes the Simrad Precision-9 solid-state compass, plus all cabling and connectors required to build an NMEA 2000® network backbone or connect your autopilot system to an existing NMEA 2000® network.

Easy Installation and Setup

Our Virtual Rudder Feedback technology eliminates the need for a mechanical rudder feedback unit aboard many vessels, greatly simplifying installation. The AP44 also offers automatic tuning to ensure optimal auto-steering performance, through a simple on-screen commissioning process that guides you through both dockside configuration and sea trial. Once your autopilot system is up and running, the included Precision-9 heading sensor features automatic compass calibration to continually fine-tune heading accuracy as you go.

AP44 Autopilot Controller

The AP44 Autopilot Controller features a full colour display, intuitive rotary dial and button controls, and modern glass helm styling. Free your hands from the wheel, cruise in comfort, and discover new ways to search for fish; this dedicated controller offers easy access to automated turn patterns, No Drift steering, depth contour tracking, and other advanced pilot features. Connect your chartplotter to add waypoint and route navigation, and enjoy full autopilot control from compatible Simrad displays.

Minimum product requirements

No Drift steering requires an optional GPS receiver, sold separately. Depth contour tracking requires an optional depth transducer, also sold separately.
