Furuno SafeHelm2 Bi-Directional Flow Switch Sensor Pack with Adaptors Item # 932686

Description
Furuno's SafeHelm2 is an optional sensor designed for use with NavPilot 300/700/711C series autopilots. The SafeHelm2 senses when an operator is manually steering their vessel while the autopilot is engaged and switches the NavPilot to manual steering for a specified time interval. This provides a helmsman with full manual control of the vessel. After the time interval has elapsed, SafeHelm2 resumes the previous automatic steering mode.
