How do I control a B&G, Lowrance or Simrad Autopilot?

Updated over a week ago

Orca Supports the following autopilots:

  • NAC-1, NAC-2, and NAC-3

  • B&G H5000

  • TP22 and TP32 via SimNet adapter cable

  • Simrad AC1x, AC4x and AC7x series directly via NMEA2000 or SimNet adapter cable

The following modes and actions are supported:

  • Standby

  • Auto / Heading Hold

  • No Drift

  • Wind

  • Navigation

  • Autotack

  • Autogybe

For Nav mode to work on these autopilots, you'll need to set Orca as your Navigation Data source on your Autopilot's Head Unit display.

TP22, and TP32 must be set into "System mode" for control via Orca. To activate System Mode, press and hold the TACK, STBY/AUTO and NAV keys while turning power on to the autopilot.
