The RT-580 is a “plug-and-play” device that connects directly to the remote port on the back of the KAP-866. It provides tactile push-button control for essential steering functions. It is particularly valued by solo sailors and fishermen who need to make course corrections while handling lines or gear on deck.

• Cable Length: Standard version comes with a 7.5-meter to 10-meter lead, providing significant mobility.

• Ergonomics: Designed for one-handed operation with large, easy-to-press buttons.

• Weather Resistance: While robustly built for marine environments, it is primarily intended for wheelhouse or sheltered use; it typically lacks a high IPX immersion rating (IPX5 equivalent).
