Simrad OP12 Autopilot Controller
Compact autopilot control with physical rotary knob for quick course adjustments.
The OP12 is an autopilot control head with a push-button rotary knob for direct control over your Simrad autopilot. The device connects via NMEA 2000 and is intended as a secondary control unit in addition to a main controller or multifunction display. Its minimalist design fits any helm station where quick, hands-on autopilot control is desired.
The OP12 works with Simrad NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot systems and is a logical choice for additional control on a flybridge, aft deck, or secondary helm station.
Why choose the OP12?
- Compact rotary knob control: quickly adjust course with a physical knob.
- No screen needed: direct interface without reliance on an MFD.
- NMEA 2000 connection: a single cable to your Simrad network.
- Compatible with NAC-series autopilots: direct integration with Simrad systems.
- Flush and surface mount: flexible installation.
Who is this product for?
The OP12 is designed for boaters who want quick autopilot control at an extra position on board, without installing an additional MFD or large controller. Suitable as a secondary control on flybridges, aft decks, or cockpits of sailboats, in addition to an AP44 or MFD control at the main helm.
What does it offer you?

- Quick activation: press the button for standby or auto.
- Compact installation: small size fits any helm station.
