Common Question of Simrad FU80
What is the FU80 remote?
The Simrad FU80 is a remote control with display for compatible autopilot systems. It provides steering-interface functions rather than anchor handling. Confirm system compatibility, connection type, power supply, feedback, control assignments, wiring, and marine autopilot controller requirements before installation.
Does it include an autopilot computer?
No. The listing identifies the FU80 as a remote control with display and does not state that a course computer, drive, pump, feedback, heading source, wiring, or mounting hardware is included. Confirm the complete system before purchase.
Does it control a windlass?
No. The FU80 provides compatible autopilot control and does not operate a gypsy, drum, chain, or anchor rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Verify separate equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
