Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack – 000-11749-001

The Lowrance Outboard Pilot Cable Steer Pack – 000-11749-001 includes the user interface called Lowrance SmartSteer, which allows you to easily switch between electric steering, control of the trolling motor, and control of the outboard engine without leaving the HDS display.

With this system, you can use the controls on your HDS Gen2 or Gen2 Touch display to guide your outboard motor in the direction of a heading, waypoint, route, or cursor.

The Lowrance SmartSteer interface enables you to control both your cable-steered outboard motor and the MotorGuide Xi5 Pinpoint electric-steer trolling motor.

The package also includes the NAC-1 Autopilot Computer, model number 000-11769-001, which is the processing and decision-making component of the Lowrance Outboard Pilot system. This computer comes with a limited warranty for two years.

For installations with a single cable, the manual helm-drive unit is replaced with the Helm-1 for Outboard Pilot – 000-11771-001 drive unit, which is compatible only with the NAC-1. It also includes a voltage rudder-feedback sensor.

To expand your NMEA2000 Network, you can use different devices that use the Micro-C connector. The N2KEXT-2RD is a 000-0119-880.6M (2′) NMEA 2000 cable that can be used as a drop cable or to extend the network backbone for connecting an additional device.

The N2KEXT-15RD is a 15-feet long NMEA 2000 cable, which can be used as a backbone extension cable, a drop cable, or both to connect an extra networking device.
