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.
Included in the KE703A station kit
- 1 × NM1003-00 — Single-Engine KE+ Control Head - Chrome - Stainless-Steel Lever
- 1 × NM0647-10 — KE+ T-Harness (R/C)
- 1 × control-head buzzer: NJ0251-00 for 12 V or NJ0515-00 for 24 V
Required separately and installation planning
- NM0649 bus harness — select the section length for the added station. Confirm each route length against the applicable wiring diagram. Bus, power and engine-interface harnesses have different roles.
- KE703 — a compatible KE7+ base installation must already be present or supplied separately. The station kit does not include another control unit or actuator.
- Configure the system using the control-unit settings described in the applicable legacy manual. Do not apply KE-XG programming instructions to a different generation.
- The applicable manual limits the total CANbus-harness run to 80m. Plan the complete layout rather than treating this as the allowance for each section.
Request complete system pricing to include the required harnesses, cables and other installation parts.
Station expansion and setup options
KE7+ supports up to four helm control heads plus one optional wired handheld station with the appropriate components.
- NM0907-00 — optional wired single-engine handheld remote; match the socket harness and system generation.
