  1. @JTM203SOUTH Needs to be connect. Helm-1 feature a variable voltage rudder feedback sensor. Only compatible with NAC-1 autopilot computer. So in the ap set-up you choose rudder feedback instead of virtual rudder feedback
  2. @dbitting: Nice set-up Be sure that both unit are running the same software version (very important) Save wpts not necessary that you save settings because you need to start from the beginning Put everything ON then to a autoconfiguration Then after that go to network and sources and verify if the right sources are enable. Once you got youre system running as it should save the settings so you won't have to start over again. But in the case you still have problem try to do a hard reset (this why you save youre waypoints on a sd card) I can sent you my personnal cell phone # and you call me once you are in the boat. Another very impostant thing: be sure that you have 12.3 volts and more at the units.
  3. Before I forgot there is also a important update for the NAC-1: NAC-1 Software Update Release Date: 3 October 2018 Version: 1.0.03 We are pleased to announce a software update for the NAC-1 autopilot computer. Some customers have reported that the NAC-1 is not memorising external feedback sources like RF25 or analog signal into NAC-1 computer. After repowering the unit could randomly select VRF. The software has been improved to prevent this from happening. Software upgrade can be done from AP44/48 and IS42 using USB, MFD using the SD or microSD card slot, or by using the ST10 and swup tool software. Download NAC-1 Software Update
  4. @dbitting: some explanaton for the Point-1 and Point-1AP: Point-1 and Point-1 AP have different software with different dampening characteristics. Point-1 is optimised for stabilizing the chart display and for radar overlay, Point-1 AP with much less dampening is optimized for autopilot usage. I would like to know exactly a list of all youre Lowrance electronics on youre boat. I will also post some pics of troubleshooting on this post
  5. Yes there is a rudder available for the NAC1; RF40 a medium-duty rudder feedback. Comes with a 50ft cable. Plug & play to a NAC-1 or a NAC-2 Part#: 000-14439-001 Sgg retail price: $419.
  6. In the schematic the no was for a previous question. As written it is compatible with the Gen2, Gen2 Touch, Gen3, Carbon and Live. The NAC1 computer does have a rudder plug because I think they use the same box for the NAC1 and the NAC2. I will try to dig a little more on this and let you know. I'm pretty sure it's only a virtual rudder. I run my boat w/o a rudder and it's straight has a arrow

  8. On Facebook: It is with a sorrowful heart that I tell you that my father, Jim Stafford is in the last days of his life. This will make me unavailable to customers as I spend these precious final moments with him and family. The store will continue to be open, but I will not be responding to emails or messenger for the immediate future.
  9. I personnaly know the seller; have been fishing in his boat. Nothing wrong with this motor; seller is meticulous with his maintenance. Can be buy w/o any worries.
  10. Same with Lowrance and Simrad; full control through the head unit
  11. short video on a windy day using a Lowrance NAC-1 trolling with a 9.9 link with a 150 Mercury (hydraulic steerong) Lowrance ap.mp4
  12. Princecraft 186 Platinum, HDS LIVE, Mercury 150 hydraulic steering with a Lowrance NAC-1 love it
  13. They are 2 sizes 1156 are 3” and the 1155 are 5”
  14. This is a very short video that shows how the Lowrance ap perform (22 sec.) Next week I will do something better using again a Lowrance but also a Simrad GO and a Simrad EVO-3
  15. Looks like we spent time to answer for nothing
  16. I had those release in my boat for 2 years w/o trying it and last week I finally decide to give a try while fishing lakers and landlock on Champlain and I was very impress; fast & easy and easy to adjust. Scotty Hairtrigger Release - 18" Extended Hairtrigger [1032] Next time I will give a try with braid line
  17. The computer and the Gen ? That control are the same and the motor on the wheel is a Octopus; Octopus is very well known in the AP world as the best for the cable steer. That being said you can expect the same result as the hydraulic model
  18. If you link the GO with a HDS the only way is by NK2000 so you will be able to share waypoints when both unit are ON and also the ap control. The GO and the Gen can control the NAC-1 Navico AP
  19. Excellent unit that can use the Nac1 autopilot you should add witch transducer comes with it
  20. And you got a better explanation on this video: https://youtu.be/epemiFUK84I
  21. I never seen a Totalscan transducer with a blue end connector and by the way the Lowrance Elite Ti and Ti-2 have only 1 connector for the transducer and it's black. So a Totalscan is a 9 pins Xsonic and if you want to use a HDI (downscan) you can either use a Xsonic with a black connector plug directly in the black connector or if you have a HDI with a blue connecor you then need a adapter cable from 7 to 9 pins. Show me a picture of your Totalscan with a blue connector. I'm showing you mine that comes like all the others with a Xsonic black connector and has mentionne in my previous post if you plug the Totalscan in the blue you will get: 2D, CHIRP and downscan no structurescan. I'm running Simrad EVO-3, Simrad GO-7, HDS Carbon, HDS Live, Structurescan 3D, and more
