{"product_id":"qbp078999","title":"Simrad Autopilot Gateway for Volvo, For NAC D Autopilot, EVC\/IPS Drives","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Simrad 000-15597-002 is an autopilot gateway that interfaces a Simrad pilot computer with Volvo Penta EVC and IPS drive systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is used when a Simrad NAC-D autopilot computer needs to connect to the Volvo drive network, and it can also be used with an SG05 pilot computer. In these Volvo EVC and IPS installations, the gateway is the required interface that allows the autopilot system to be commissioned and used normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a fit-critical component for Volvo-equipped boats where steering integration runs through EVC and IPS, so it is worth confirming your exact Volvo system and the Simrad pilot computer model before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutopilot gateway for Volvo Penta EVC and IPS drive installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequired interface for connecting a Simrad NAC-D autopilot computer to Volvo EVC and IPS drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with an SG05 pilot computer in Volvo EVC and IPS systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Simrad EV2 autopilot installations that need Volvo EVC and IPS integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for boats with Volvo EVC and IPS drive systems rather than conventional steering setups without EVC and IPS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gateway is for Volvo Penta installations that use EVC and IPS drives. Match it to the Simrad pilot computer in the boat, such as an NAC-D or SG05, and verify that the rest of the autopilot system is configured for a Volvo EVC and IPS integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the gateway in a location that stays dry and protected, close enough to the pilot computer and the Volvo system connections to keep cable runs tidy. Since this module sits in the steering control chain between the Simrad autopilot and the Volvo EVC and IPS system, installation and commissioning are typically handled by an experienced marine electronics installer, followed by the normal autopilot dockside checks and sea trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for Volvo IPS boats and other Volvo EVC installations where you want the Simrad autopilot to steer through the Volvo drive system rather than adding separate steering hardware. It is also relevant for refits where the Simrad autopilot computer is being upgraded, but the boat remains on Volvo EVC and IPS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269751042229,"sku":"QBP078999","price":3900.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1301239_qbp078999.webp?v=1771545545","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp078999","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
