Suzuki DF250APXW5 - fish hunter drive

[henderbb]

Hello,

I just put a deposit down on 2 precision control 250 Suzukis, I want to move to furuno electronics and connect it to fishunter drive.

If I get the tzt10x or tzt13x, and the Navpilot 300, is it plug and play?

What else can I expect to have to get or what programming will have to be done to get this to work?

Before I go out throwing funds at this, i want to be sure its gonna work and what i can expect to have to get, and is there someone the installers can call when they are doing it.

Of the 3 suzuki shops in my area no one has done this, wondering how many of these have actually been hooked up?

Thanks

Fishhunter: RRU needed for new DF300APXX w/ SCX-20 & NavPilot 300?

I was reading on FB that the RRU is not needed to get the rudder information and instead the NavPilot can be programmed to use “Fantum mode” and it will give you the same performance as having a RRU installed for Fishhunter. Is this correct or does the RRU improve the Fishhunter performance...

Ensure that Suzuki has all the correct parts installed and everything will be easy. We have lots of self installed and dealer installed systems out there.

So is it safe to say that for Point Lock to work, the system needs a suzuki gateway and a rudder reference hooked up ?
Thanks

For Fish Hunter Drive to be an option at all you must have the Suzuki 4 Tank Gateway installed.
Point Lock does require rudder data to function. So you will need a rudder reference if not using something like the Optimus steering system.

On multi engine setups do you know if a Suzuki gateway is required for each motor or will 1 work for all motors?

Fish Hunter Drive can control up to four engines using a single Suzuki 4 Tank Gateway.
