Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack

Description

Convert a compatible mechanical cable-steering outboard system into an autopilot installation with the Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack. The pack combines a NAC-1 autopilot computer, Helm-1 cable drive, Point-1 GPS and heading sensor, NMEA 2000 kit, and Auto and Standby button. It is specified for Morse and Teleflex cable steering on vessels up to 30 ft and uses a 12V DC supply.

The Helm-1 drive mounts behind the dash, while the NAC-1 mounts on a bulkhead. Rudder feedback is integrated into the Helm-1 drive, eliminating a separate feedback component for the specified system configuration. The pack integrates with Lowrance HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS displays through NMEA 2000. Confirm cable-steering compatibility, behind-dash clearance, power supply, display compatibility, and control-cable routing before purchase.

Key Specifications of the Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack

• The pack includes a NAC-1 computer, Helm-1 cable drive, Point-1 sensor, NMEA 2000 kit, and Auto and Standby button.
• Morse and Teleflex mechanical cable-steering systems can use the Helm-1 drive when compatible with the documented outboard autopilot configuration.
• Vessel length is specified up to 30 ft, requiring installation suitability to be assessed against the complete steering-system arrangement.
• The Point-1 sensor provides the stated GPS and heading information for compatible autopilot functions and MFD integration.
• Helm-1 includes rudder feedback, removing a separate feedback device only within the specified cable-steering installation configuration.
• A 12V DC supply supports the NAC-1 computer, which has a stated peak current draw of 8A during operation.
• Lowrance HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS displays provide the documented control integration through the NMEA 2000 network.

System Integration and Control

This Lowrance autopilot pack is for compatible mechanical cable-steering outboard systems, not hydraulic or electronic steer-by-wire setups. The NAC-1 computer works with the included Helm-1 cable drive, while the Point-1 sensor supplies GPS and heading information. A compatible Lowrance HDS Live, HDS Carbon, or Elite FS display is required for the stated control interface.

SmartSteer interface capability and automatic calibration through the multifunction display are specified. The full installation requires behind-dash space for Helm-1, a bulkhead location for the NAC-1, a suitable Point-1 sensor location, NMEA 2000 connections, and a 12V electrical circuit. Confirm all mechanical and electronic requirements before the conversion is started.

Why Choose the Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack

The Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack combines the NAC-1 computer, Helm-1 cable drive, Point-1 GPS and heading sensor, integrated rudder feedback, and NMEA 2000 kit. Buyers can compare its Morse and Teleflex cable-steering compatibility, up-to-30-foot vessel specification, 12V supply, 8A peak draw, behind-dash drive mounting, MFD-based calibration, and HDS Live, Carbon, or Elite FS integration with other outboard autopilot systems.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm that the outboard uses a compatible Morse or Teleflex mechanical cable-steering system before selecting this pack. Verify vessel length, behind-dash clearance for the Helm-1 drive, bulkhead space for the NAC-1, Point-1 sensor location, 12V circuit capacity, and NMEA 2000 backbone requirements. Ensure that a compatible HDS Live, HDS Carbon, or Elite FS display is present for the specified control and calibration interface.

Warranty and Support

Lowrance warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for this autopilot pack. Mulmarine.com can help you review cable-steering compatibility, vessel length, Helm-1 and NAC-1 mounting locations, 12V power needs, Point-1 sensor placement, NMEA 2000 requirements, and display compatibility before purchase. Review the applicable Lowrance warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.

Before Ordering the Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack

Confirm that your vessel uses compatible Morse or Teleflex cable steering, is within the specified 30 ft vessel range, and has a compatible Lowrance HDS Live, HDS Carbon, or Elite FS display. You should verify Helm-1 behind-dash clearance, NAC-1 bulkhead mounting space, Point-1 sensor position, NMEA 2000 backbone capacity, 12V circuit capacity, steering-cable routing, and required automatic-calibration setup before purchase.
