Furuno NavNet TZtouch Remote Control Unit Product Description

Enhance your marine navigation experience with the intuitive hardware controls that keep essential functions at your fingertips, even in rough seas or when wearing gloves. Designed specifically for Furuno's NavNet TZtouch systems like the TZT9, TZT14, and BB models, this compact remote unit bridges the gap between touchscreen convenience and reliable physical operation. Boaters who spend hours at the helm appreciate how it simplifies cursor movement, menu access, and system navigation without relying solely on the main display.

Precision Control with Joystick and Dedicated Keys

The heart of this remote is its responsive 8-way joystick, which glides smoothly to position cursors, pan charts, or scroll through radar overlays. A simple press activates contextual menus—push it on the plotter screen, and options pop up instantly for marking waypoints or adjusting zoom. Paired with 10 tactically placed keys, it covers everything from gain adjustments on sonar to switching between chart and fishfinder modes. This setup feels natural, reducing eye strain and errors during critical moments like docking or fishing.

Seamless Integration Across Your Vessel

Beyond basic TZtouch commands, it extends to autopilot management when paired with the NavPilot 700 series. Imagine adjusting course headings or engaging autopilot modes from a secondary station without leaving your spot. It's fully compatible with multi-touch gestures and NavNet apps, ensuring your modern network runs smoothly. Update to TZtouch software version 3.12 or later, and you'll unlock full potential, including the clever auto-scroll feature that pans the screen just by nudging the cursor to the edge.

Built for the Harsh Marine Environment

Measuring just 2.3 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall with a slim 0.75-inch mounting depth, installation is straightforward in tight spaces like pod mounts or bulkheads. Its waterproof construction handles spray, rain, and humidity without flinching, backed by a rugged USB 2.0 connection that supports extensions up to 30 meters for flexible routing to multiple displays. Whether you're outfitting a center console, flybridge, or larger yacht, it delivers pro-level control without cluttering your setup.

Why Boaters Choose This Remote for TZtouch

In real-world scenarios, it shines during night watches or heavy weather when touchscreens falter. Skippers report faster response times for radar clutter rejection or engine data checks, boosting safety and efficiency. It's not just a gadget—it's an extension of your instincts, letting you focus on the water ahead. For vessels with networked Furuno systems, it transforms helm ergonomics, making long trips less fatiguing and more precise.

What systems is the MCU002 compatible with?

It's designed for NavNet TZtouch models including TZT9, TZT14, and BB units, requiring software version 3.12 or later. It also interfaces with the NavPilot 700 autopilot when integrated into the TZtouch network.

How does the joystick function on this remote?

The 8-directional joystick handles cursor movement, screen scrolling, and panning. Pressing it down triggers contextual menus, such as on plotter screens for quick waypoint actions.

Is it suitable for wet conditions on a boat?

Yes, fully waterproof and built to withstand marine environments, making it ideal for open helms or areas prone to spray.

Can the cable be extended for installation?

It uses a standard USB 2.0 connection with a 2-meter cable included. Optional extensions work reliably up to 30 meters, perfect for larger vessels.

What makes the auto-scroll feature useful?

By moving the cursor to the screen edge, it automatically pans or scrolls, speeding up chart navigation without constant joystick input.

Does it work alongside touchscreen controls?

Absolutely—it supplements multi-touch operation, providing hardware keys for precision where fingers might slip.

Where can I mount this remote unit?

Its compact size and shallow depth suit flush mounting on panels, desks, or custom brackets in helm areas or auxiliary stations.

Equip your Furuno setup with controls that match the demands of serious boating, ensuring you're always one step ahead on the water.
