It gives you a rotary dial and full keypad so you can drive up to six multifunction displays without reaching across the dash. Machined aluminum housing, landscape layout, and everything you need to flush or dash mount it right in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever tried to work a touchscreen chartplotter offshore with wet hands and a following sea, you already know why a keypad earns its spot on the dash. The Simrad OP-55 is the landscape remote control built for helms running NEON OS, Simrad's latest multifunction display operating system. It puts a rotary dial and a full keypad right where your hand falls, so you can pan a chart, tune the sonar, or switch pages without ever taking your eyes off the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the landscape version, so it mounts wide rather than tall. The housing is machined aluminum finished in black, 5.9 inches across, 2.4 inches high, and 1-3\/4 inches deep. It's a compact footprint that tucks into the helm next to the wheel or throttle, and the aluminum shell holds up to salt, sun, and the constant vibration that comes with running hard. It's a hybrid control setup. The rotary dial handles quick scrolling and zoom, and the keypad covers the shortcut and menu presses you reach for most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne OP-55 drives up to six NEON OS displays on the same network. That's the part that makes it worth wiring in on a bigger boat. On a sportfisher or a center console with a couple of displays at the helm and another at the tower, you get one consistent set of controls for the whole spread instead of leaning on the touchscreen at each station. The keypad talks to the displays over NMEA 2000, and the kit ships with the N2K-T-RD network T-connector you need to tap into the backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMounting is flexible. You can flush mount it into the dash for a clean, built-in look, or surface mount it on top with the included dash mounting kit. Flush mounting takes a clean cutout and a little care around the aluminum bezel, especially on a curved console, so measure twice before you cut. On aluminum boats and open helms, a bead of butyl tape behind the bezel goes a long way toward a dry, rattle-free install. Simrad includes the keypad sun cover in the box too, which keeps UV off the face when the boat's on the trailer or the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anybody building or refreshing a NEON OS helm who wants real tactile control alongside the touchscreen. Tournament anglers running multiple screens. Offshore crews who'd rather turn a dial than tap glass in a chop. Anyone who's found that gloves and touchscreens don't always get along. If you're running a single small display and you're happy tapping the screen, you probably don't need it. But once you've got two or more NEON OS displays in the mix, a dedicated keypad changes how the whole helm feels to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's a hardwired network device, plan the install like any other N2K component. Give yourself enough cable to route cleanly to the backbone, keep the T-connector accessible, and confirm your NEON OS displays are up to date so the keypad and screens are speaking the same language. Once it's in, control is instant and the same across every display it drives, whether you're standing at the main helm or reaching over from the passenger seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason serious helms still run a keypad in the touchscreen era. Touch is great when the boat's flat and your hands are dry. But when you're offshore, bouncing over a chop, or fighting a fish while you keep half an eye on the sonar, a physical dial and real buttons don't miss. You feel the click. You don't have to look. That muscle memory is what the OP-55 buys you, and it's why crews who run long days on the water tend to want one within arm's reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the box you get the OP-55 landscape keypad, the N2K-T-RD network T-connector, the keypad sun cover, and the dash mounting kit. That's everything you need to get it wired and mounted. It's a straightforward add to a NEON OS system and one of those upgrades that quietly makes every day on the water easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls up to 6 NEON OS multifunction displays from a single keypad, so you run the whole helm with one control set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid rotary dial and keypad interface for fast scrolling, zoom, and menu shortcuts without touching the screen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMachined aluminum housing in black stands up to salt, sun, and the vibration of running hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLandscape orientation with a compact 5.9 in W x 2.4 in H x 1-3\/4 in D footprint fits tight dash space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlush mount into the dash or surface mount on top, both options supported out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnects over NMEA 2000 and includes the N2K-T-RD network T-connector to tap the backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeypad sun cover included to keep UV off the face between trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDash mounting kit included for a clean surface-mount install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Simrad reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow many displays can the OP-55 control?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA single OP-55 drives up to six multifunction displays running NEON OS on the same NMEA 2000 network.
