Simrad FU80 Remote Control w/Display Product Description
Simrad FU80 Follow-Up Remote Control with Display - Marine Autopilot Steering Controller
Take precise control of your vessel's steering with the Simrad FU80 Follow-Up Remote Control, an intuitive maneuvering controller that provides direct rudder angle command for professional marine autopilot systems. This NMEA2000-enabled remote delivers responsive steering control from any station, making it essential equipment for multi-helm configurations and precision maneuvering operations.
Intuitive Follow-Up Steering Technology
The FU80's innovative follow-up steering system allows you to set precise rudder angles by rotating the lever up to 70 degrees port or starboard from center position. When you move the lever, the rudder moves to the corresponding angle and remains in position until a new angle is commanded. This direct correlation between lever position and rudder angle provides intuitive boat handling that feels natural to experienced mariners.

Product description Dedicated autopilot control Our steering remote control provides intuitive control and a 1.7-inch display, which can be used to change heading, heading, rudder angle or autopilot mode at any position on the ship. Adding a remote control to the system can provide dedicated steering control for the fully integrated autonomous driving system, thereby complementing the touch screen controls on the multi-function display. The remote control can also enable autopilot control from multiple sites: ideal for the driver’s seat and other dual-helmet settings. The intuitive follow-up joystick Simrad autopilot not only keeps your driving route, but also enables you to steer manually from any autopilot on the ship. FU80 provides intuitive follow-up steering, and its joystick can be rotated from the middle position to 70 degrees to port or starboard. When you move the joystick, the rudder will move to the corresponding angle. The joystick and rudder will remain in place until a new rudder angle is set. The commanded rudder angle is clearly displayed on the FU80's integrated display and is indicated by the position of the joystick. Easy to install This wired remote control can be installed almost anywhere. The simple design allows flush mounting using the included accessories, or external mounting to a desktop or shelf using an optional mounting kit. The remote control connects the Simrad autopilot system to the existing network via the NMEA 2000 cable, thus providing a plug-and-play installation method without the need for complicated wiring.
