Advanced Marine Autopilot System for Precision Navigation

The SI-TEX SP38 Autopilot Corepack is a state-of-the-art navigation solution designed for professional and recreational marine applications. Equipped with Intelligent Steering Technology (IST), this system enhances vessel steering capabilities by learning and adapting to various sea conditions and vessel speeds. Its adaptive steering technology ensures smooth and precise control, making it an excellent choice for fishing boats, offshore vessels, workboats, towboats, and yachts.

With its 5.7-inch sunlight-viewable LCD display, the SP38 provides clear, real-time navigation data while offering multiple operational modes, including NAV Mode for precise track steering and WORK Mode for heavy-duty marine use. The system also features Automatic Leeway Compensation (ALC), which adjusts for drift, tide, and wind, ensuring optimal navigation efficiency.

Engineered for seamless integration, the SP38 is fully compatible with NMEA 2000, Ethernet, and NMEA 0183 interfaces, allowing for connectivity with a variety of onboard instruments and steering systems. Security is reinforced with multi-station capability and station lock, providing reliable and controlled operation in all marine environments.
