Why add a second helm?
- Get a better view while maneuvering. Add an operating position where you can see the dock, stern or working area.
- Use another helm without duplicating the engine hardware. The added control head communicates with the compatible base system.
- Plan the station connection. Match the station-specific T-harness and bus-harness route to the system wiring diagram.

- 1 × NM2011-00 — Single-Engine KE-XG Control Head- Chrome - Composite Lever - with Trim/Tilt

- Use a laptop, NM1476-01 settings-tool harness and USB-KE-Adapter Harness for programming, following the KE-XG settings manual.
- The existing catalog lists an 80m limit for the total CANbus-harness run. Confirm the complete route and the permitted total length for the installed system with Seatech before ordering.
