Si-Tex SP-80-1 Fixed-Mount Autopilot System Rotary Feedback No Pump

The Si-Tex SP-80-1 is a sophisticated fixed-mount autopilot system designed to provide hands-free navigation for inboard, outboard, and sterndrive vessels equipped with hydraulic or quadrant steering systems. This complete autopilot solution delivers precise course control, allowing you to set your heading and let the system take over while you focus on other tasks aboard.

Key Features:

• Waterproof control head with flush or surface mount installation options for flexible placement
• Bold backlit display with 10 adjustable brightness levels for clear visibility in any lighting condition
• Built-in NMEA 0183 interface for seamless integration with GPS and Loran navigation systems for automatic waypoint navigation
• Digital rudder angle display and operating mode indicators provide constant system status updates
• Automatic Sea State and Trim controls with 10 selectable rudder sensitivity levels and dual speed settings
• Rotary feedback system verifies autopilot commands for accurate steering response
• Ghost Rudder backup mode uses memory of previous rudder movements to maintain control if feedback fails
• Heading Output feature stabilizes radar display for improved target tracking
• Power Steering mode enables convenient push-button course adjustments
• Stand-By mode for manual steering when needed
• Built-in diagnostics with self-test capabilities and visual/audible alarms
• Compatible with solenoid valve systems
• Expandable with optional SP-70 Handheld Control Unit for second-station operation

This system includes rotary feedback for precise rudder position monitoring but does not include a hydraulic pump (sold separately). The SP-80-1 replaces the legacy SP-80RLP part number and delivers reliable autopilot performance for cruising and offshore navigation.
