The Simrad FU80 Follow Up Remote from Nomadic Supply Company® is a wired Follow Up steering remote for Simrad autopilot systems, giving you direct intuitive control of your boat’s rudder angle from any station aboard — turn the lever and the rudder moves to the same angle, with an integrated 1.7-inch display showing the commanded angle at all times.
The FU80 connects to your Simrad autopilot system via a single NMEA 2000 cable into your existing network for plug-and-play installation with no complex wiring required. Flush-mount installation uses the included accessories, or the remote mounts externally to a desktop or bulkhead via an optional mounting kit — enabling dedicated Follow Up steering control from almost any location aboard.
Simrad FU80 Follow Up Remote Features:
- Follow Up Steering. The FU80’s lever angle directly corresponds to rudder angle — turn the lever to port or starboard and the rudder follows to the same angle. Provides direct, intuitive helm control for close-quarters maneuvering from any autopilot station.
- Holds Commanded Angle. The lever and rudder remain at the commanded angle when released — ideal for repetitive maneuvering in tight spaces where maintaining a rudder angle without continuous input is needed.
- Integrated 1.7-Inch Display. A built-in display shows the commanded rudder angle and enables autopilot mode changes — course adjustments, heading changes, and mode selections all visible at a glance without looking at the MFD.
- Flexible Mounting. Flush-mount in a panel using the included accessories, or surface-mount to a desktop or bulkhead via an optional mounting kit, enabling Follow Up steering control from the helm, fly-bridge, or any secondary station.
- Plug-and-Play NMEA 2000 Connectivity. Connects to your Simrad autopilot system via a single NMEA 2000 cable into your existing network — no complex wiring required, fully compatible with NAC-2, NAC-3, and other Simrad autopilot systems.
