    Autopilot on a 300 Verado

    A friend of mine want to install a Lowrance NAC-1 link with his Simrad EVO3

    For the installation we are able to do it oursleves but the only thing that bothers me is the bleeding of the electric power steering; I already did a few installations on a Seastar conventionnal hydraulic but never on a electric PS. Is the bleeding is the same? Same Seastar hydraulic oil?

    Those are the parts we are going to order:
    NAC-1 000-11748-001

    N2K starter kit: 000-0124-69

    Verado fittings kit: 000-11772-001

    If you would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Info (serial number) when posting. Thanks!

    Is this a single engine setup?

    Given that these are non-Mercury components, that are tying into the steering system and essentially act as a second helm that is following waypoints, I would strongly recommend getting with Lowrance (directly) for technical assistance on these products.

    Keep in mind that this isn't really an "autopilot"- it is merely controlling the heading (or steering).
