	Option: Fly-By-Wire Steering Wheel Steering Wheel #231000 $691.87 Web price $553.49 Joystick #23 08 00	Fly-By-Wire Steering Wheel and Joystick Operating modes: > Turn-Rate Mode: the steering wheel rotation determines the rate of turn of the vessel, not the rudder angle. When the wheel is in the center detent, the heading is held. The rudder is moved automatically by the Autopilot Computer. This is the principal operating mode. > Servo Mode: rudder position is controlled by the wheel. The rudder follows the wheel movement, same as in a mechanical steering system. This is a simple mode, which does not require a Gyro installed. > Autopilot Mode: the heading is held or can be modified from any Heading Display or Autopilot Display in the system. The wheel is guarded. > NAV Mode: a programmed course or route, as set in a GPS or plotter, will be intercepted and held. > Speed Mode: For fishing or towing select the boat speed or Ground Speed you need. > HOLD Mode: The boat will hold its present position by use of the engines and thrusters, while a selected heading or wind angle will be maintained automatically. > Docking Mode: Forget complicated shift, throttle and steering wheel combinations in close-quarter maneuvering. Simply move and rotate the Joystick in the direction you want your boat to move. You can do all your slow-speed driving in Docking Mode. Much easier than the traditional way! Up to eight Fly-By-Wire Steering Wheels or Joysticks can be connected, up to 700 ft. apart. #23 08 00 Joystick 3-axis stand-alone CAN-Bus version $1094.50 Web price $875.60 (or #23 05 07 Joystick-Handle attached to fixed Fly-By-Wire Throttle Station: $405.76 Web price $324.61)

	Sonic Heading Gyro # 910205	Heading Gyro The Sonic Heading Gyro is the heart of the system. It is a light weight and maintenance free electronic Gyro Compass, manufactured and steadily improved by TECNAUTIC since 1992. Rough seas and rapid motion will not cause errors. The Sonic Heading Gyro is connected either to a display unit or to an electronic steering wheel. The gyro can be slewed to magnetic north by a magnetic sensor or by a GPS. This feature is especially useful on vessels, where a magnetic compass cannot work reliably. For boat stabilization without navigational information, the gyro can be used without compass or GPS, for example in Docking Mode or in Wind Mode. $ 405.76 Web price $ 324.61 (needs Display Unit or Fly-By-Wire Steering Wheel to work)

	H2183 Compass # 910106	Magnetic Heading Sensor: used to synchronize the Sonic Heading Gyro to magnetic north, to avoid long term drifting of the Gyro. Any short term heading fluctuation, which is normal for a Magnetic Compass, will not be reflected on the Sonic Heading Gyro. The H2183 has automatic deviation compensation and in addition, it transmits heel and pitch angles. $ 631.52 Web price $ 505.22 cable 33 ft: $ 88.43 An existing NMEA Compass can also be used instead of the H2183 to slew the gyro

	Autopilot Computer (Drive Box) #230100	The Autopilot Computer positions the rudder and activates the thrusters, so as to achieve the desired heading, track or wind angle of the boat. It makes use of an already installed hydraulic or mechanical Rudder Drive or any new rudder drive. Works with 12 and 24 Volt. It connects to the CAN-Bus cable with RJ-45 connectors which can be installed with a simple crimp tool, if custom wiring is selected. Standard cables have connectors already installed. Two Autopilot Computers can be installed to drive two steering pumps, either alternating or parallel, in an augmentation mode, where the second pump starts only when a higher rudder speed is needed. In Docking Mode, with individually steered rudders or stern or pod drives, the Drive-Boxes will command individual steering angles and operate the thrusters, when installed. On larger vessels, where constant hydraulic pressure is available, the same Autopilot Computer can drive electric servo valves or proportional valves instead of the rudder motor. Drive Box: $ 795.91 Web price: $ 636.73
		Rudder Angle Sensor #230004. The sensor supports direct installation on the joint between linear actuator and rudder arm. Connects electrically to the Autopilot Computer. $ 177.91 Web price $ 142.38
		Option: Sealed Rudder Angle Sensor #230003 (instead of standard # 230004) All metal design. Connecting rod and ball joints included. $454.66 Web price $363.72
	FADEC-Box	The FADEC-Box controls the throttle and shift and - depending on the model - the Trolling Valve and engine start circuit. It works from a 12 or 24 Volt system. Standard features include single-lever control, eight-station capability, station-in-command indicators, easy station transfer, built-in engine synchronization, speed/shift sequence protection, rev-up, neutral start interlock. # 23 02 01 for mechanical throttle and shift, including engine starter # 23 02 10 for mechanical throttle and solenoid shift # 23 02 20 for electronic throttle and solenoid shift $928.04 Web price $742.43 # 23 02 21 for electronic throttle, solenoid shift and trolling valve, plus ignition and starter $1032.08 Web price $825.66
