Simrad AP44 VRF High Capacity Autopilot System Pack MK2 - 000-13562-002

The AP44 VRF High Capacity Autopilot System Pack MK2 includes everything you need to build a Simrad autopilot system for hydraulic-steered outboard and sterndrive (inboard/outboard) boats up to 15 m, or 50'. The PUMP-3 reversible hydraulic gear pump handles cylinder displacement of 160-550 cc, and is driven by the high current NAC-3 autopilot computer. This pack also includes the Simrad Precision-9 solid-state compass, plus a N2K power cable kit with cabling and connectors.

Features:

• Complete pack includes everything you need to upgrade your boat with a Simrad Continuum autopilot system
