Common Question of Simrad NAC-D
What is the NAC-D computer?
The Simrad NAC-D is an autopilot computer for steer-by-wire systems. It processes compatible steering commands rather than operating an anchor mechanism. Confirm engine interface, steer-by-wire compatibility, network connections, power supply, software, control head, and steer-by-wire control requirements before installation.
Is it compatible with every engine?
No. The NAC-D requires a supported steer-by-wire engine and compatible Simrad components. Verify engine model, steering architecture, network, software version, displays, heading source, power supply, and commissioning instructions before purchase or installation.
Does it control a windlass?
No. The NAC-D manages compatible steer-by-wire autopilot functions and does not control a gypsy, drum, chain, or anchor rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Use dedicated equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
