- External components are constructed of UV-stabilized ABS, machined PVC and stainless steel and are completely sealed to the elements, - Antenna quickly attaches to the base and can easily be removed for transit, - Gimbaled, magneto-inductive compass to eliminate tracking error introduced by minor leveling or heeling errors, - Belt drive mechanism consists of a variable speed motor (speed control is automatic) and an essentially backlash-free drive assembly, - Cabling is fully tinned and stranded with connectors and fittings suited to the marine environmentAttention to detail doesn't end with the external components. Inside the cabin you'll find:
- System controller housed in a good-looking black enclosure, - 4-digit LED display indicates heading, and by command, system operational status, - Sensitivity can be adjusted to 8 different settings to optimize tracking performance for current conditions, - All controls are via the included infrared remote and are similar to autopilot controls
