Simrad OP12 – Wired Autopilot Controller
Eliminating the need for bulky dashboard installations, the Simrad OP12 is a streamlined, wired autopilot controller designed for seamless integration into any helm. This compact remote is specifically engineered for American boaters who prefer a dedicated, tactile interface to complement their touchscreen multi-function displays. For the USA operator, the OP12 provides simple, one-touch buttons for Auto, Standby, and course adjustments, ensuring you can maintain absolute control over your vessel’s heading with minimal distraction during high-speed transits or complex docking maneuvers.
The OP12 features a sleek design that matches the aesthetics of modern “glass bridge” consoles. It connects via a single NMEA 2000 cable, making it an incredibly easy retrofit for existing Simrad or B&G autopilot systems. With its IPX7 waterproof rating and clear LED indicators, this controller offers the American market a robust and intuitive “second station” or primary remote, providing the confidence of physical buttons in an increasingly digital maritime environment.
