Our review
Pros :

Conclusion
The NL1733 companionway control box is a robust and reliable solution for controlling NOVAL companionway doors on yachts equipped with them. Its simplified installation and broad compatibility make it a top choice for owners looking to upgrade or replace their existing system. However, for the Oceanis 58, the addition of an extra cable is a detail to consider. Nevertheless, this product remains an excellent option for secure, efficient on-board access management.
Good to know
- In the case of the OCEANIS 58, if the old mechanical key box is replaced by a new digital key box, add the AT4354 cable to connect the new box.
