The Simrad FU80 steering remote offers intuitive controls and a 1.7-inch integrated display that can be used to make course, heading, rudder angle, or autopilot mode changes from anywhere on board. Adding this remote to your system provides dedicated steering controls for your fully integrated autopilot system, complementing the touchscreen controls on your multifunction display.
The unit enables autopilot control from multiple stations, which is perfect for fly-bridges and other dual-helm setups.
The intuitive Follow Up steering allows you to hand-steer from any autopilot station on board. The FU80 uses a lever that can be rotated 70 degrees to port or starboard from its mid-position. When you move the lever, your rudder moves to the corresponding angle. The lever and rudder remain in place when released, ensuring stable manual steering. The simple design allows flush-mount installation using the included accessories, or external mounting to a desktop or bulkhead via an optional mounting kit.
The commanded rudder angle is clearly shown on the FU80’s integrated display, and also indicated by the position of the lever.
The remote connects to your Simrad autopilot system via a single NMEA 2000® cable into your existing network, offering plug-and-play installation with no complex wiring required.
