B&G ZC2 Remote Portrait Product Description
Enhance your boating experience with the sleek B&G ZC2 Remote Portrait controller, crafted specifically for sailors who demand precision and reliability on the water. This compact, vertically oriented remote slips effortlessly into cockpit pedestals, chart tables, or any tight space where a portrait layout shines. Say goodbye to stretching across the helm to tweak your multifunction displays—instead, enjoy fingertip control over your entire network from a single, intuitive device.
Whether you're navigating choppy waters or fine-tuning your course under sail, the ZC2 Portrait delivers responsive commands to Zeus², Zeus³, Glass Helm, or Vulcan systems. Its rugged design withstands the marine environment, ensuring your focus stays on the horizon, not on finicky controls.
Why Choose the ZC2 Remote Portrait for Your Vessel?
Sailors know the frustration of managing multiple screens while handling sheets and tiller. The ZC2 solves this with seamless multi-display control. Network it via a single NMEA 2000 connection, and command up to six displays effortlessly. Cycle through them using the dedicated button, with clear LED indicators lighting the way. Need autopilot adjustments? Access them through any connected display. And in emergencies, hit the MOB button to alert every screen instantly.
Built for real-world sailing, the aluminum rotary dial offers knurled grip for wet hands, plus built-in cursor keys for zooming charts or panning waypoints without menu diving. High-decibel alarms cut through engine noise, keeping you informed of critical alerts like depth warnings or wind shifts.
- Multi-Display Mastery: Switch and control up to six MFDs with one press—perfect for larger cockpits or shared helm setups.
- Autopilot Integration: Remote steering commands via your networked Zeus or Vulcan, freeing you for sail trim.
- Portrait Perfection: Slim profile (just 2.4 inches wide) fits pedestal mounts or armrests without cluttering space.
- Flush or Dash Mount: Low 8mm dash profile or zero-profile flush install with optional bracket for clean aesthetics.
- Battle-Tested Durability: IPX6 waterproofing from the front, thriving in spray and humidity up to 95% RH.
Effortless Installation for Seamless Integration
Setting up the ZC2 Portrait is straightforward, even in confined spaces. The portrait orientation positions the cable at the bottom for pedestal or chart table installs, routing cleanly out of sight. Use the included dash mounting kit for a secure, low-profile fit, or add the bracket for fully recessed mounting. Connect via the molded Micro-C NMEA 2000 cable—no extra power wiring needed. Compass-safe at 200mm, it won't interfere with your heading sensor.
Pro tip for racers: Mount it within easy reach of the tactician for quick chart checks during maneuvers, enhancing team efficiency without slowing the boat.
