Enhance your boating experience with a reliable wired remote that puts precise steering right at your fingertips, no matter where you are on the vessel.

Forget fumbling with main displays—instead, grab direct rudder authority with a simple joystick motion, ensuring confident handling in varying conditions.
Unlock Hands-On Precision with Non-Follow-Up Steering
Imagine steering your boat as intuitively as turning a wheel on land, but with the power of professional marine tech. Non-follow-up (NFU) steering lets you push the spring-loaded lever left or right to initiate rudder movement in real time. Release it, and the rudder locks in place, holding your chosen angle until you adjust again. This setup shines during docking maneuvers, where split-second corrections prevent bumps and scrapes.
Centering the rudder is a breeze too—just a quick command recenters everything for autopilot handoff. Switch modes fluidly without interrupting your flow, keeping your focus on the water ahead. The onboard display shows critical data like course, heading, rudder angle, and autopilot status, so you're always informed without glancing away.
Effortless Setup for Any Onboard Location
Designed for real-world marine environments, installation is straightforward and adaptable. Flush-mount it into a console for a sleek look, or opt for surface mounting on a pedestal or wall using basic accessories. It taps into your NMEA 2000 network with a single cable and included T-connector, meaning no rewiring headaches or specialized tools required.
- Compatible with most Simrad autopilot systems via plug-and-play NMEA 2000.
- Compact footprint fits tight spaces without cluttering your helm.
- Weather-resistant build handles splashes, sun, and salt air with ease.
Pro tip: Position it within arm's reach of your secondary station for quick access during crewed outings or when trimming sails on a sailboat hybrid setup.
