It is used alongside the rest of the autopilot system hardware to complete a working steer-by-wire installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports autopilot control from Simrad NSS, NSO, and GO multifunction displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in steer-by-wire installations built around the Simrad NAC-D autopilot computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutopilot modes available through the display: Auto, Nav, NoDrift, and FollowUp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for Yamaha Helm Master steer-by-wire systems (not Helm Master EX).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps autopilot operation on the same screen used for charting, routes, and navigation data.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gateway is meant for boats with Yamaha Helm Master steer-by-wire steering and a Simrad autopilot setup that uses the NAC-D computer. Autopilot control is handled from Simrad NSS, NSO, and GO displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit comes down to the exact Yamaha steering version at the boat and the Simrad display family at the dash. Verifying those pieces up front avoids surprises when it is time to commission the pilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan on mounting the gateway in a protected spot behind the helm where the Yamaha steering system wiring and the autopilot wiring meet. Secure the harness so it cannot chafe or shake loose from vibration, and leave enough service loop to access connectors later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter installation, the pilot is operated and set up from the Simrad display, including the usual calibration and steering checks done during commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto mode holds a heading for longer runs. Nav mode follows a route from the chartplotter. NoDrift helps keep a steady course when wind or current pushes the boat, and FollowUp gives small, controlled course changes from the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gateway is a good match for Yamaha Helm Master boats that already run Simrad displays and want the pilot integrated into the helm workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269697335477,"sku":"QBP167722","price":1695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300998_qbp167722.jpg?v=1771545290","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp167722","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
