Simrad AP44 Precision VRF Pack with SteadySteer (Medium Capacity)

The Simrad® AP™44 Performance Autopilot System Kit (Medium Capacity) is a complete autopilot solution designed for a wide range of hydraulic steering vessels. Powered by the NAC™-2 autopilot computer and paired with a Pump-2 hydraulic drive unit, this system delivers smooth, responsive steering performance for coastal cruising, offshore boating, and fishing applications.

The included Precision-9 compass provides accurate heading and rate-of-turn data for improved course stability and reliable autopilot performance in changing sea conditions. Virtual Rudder Feedback (VRF) technology simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a physical rudder feedback unit in many applications, while SteadySteer™ allows captains to make manual steering adjustments without disengaging autopilot.

At the helm, the AP™44 Autopilot Controller features an intuitive rotary dial and full-color display for precise course adjustments and easy access to advanced steering modes. Complete with essential NMEA 2000® networking components, this kit provides a streamlined foundation for a fully integrated Simrad® autopilot system.
