Advanced Marine Autopilot System for Superior Navigation

The Sitex SP38 Autopilot Corepack is designed to enhance vessel steering with cutting-edge Intelligent Steering Technology (IST), ensuring precise and adaptive navigation. Engineered for commercial and recreational marine use, this autopilot system seamlessly integrates with a variety of vessel types, including fishing boats, offshore vessels, towboats, and yachts.

With adaptive steering capabilities, the SP38 adjusts for sea conditions and vessel speeds, providing smooth and controlled maneuvering. Its Auto-Setup feature simplifies installation by detecting auto-drive, rudder response time, and compass calibration. The system is equipped with multi-station functionality, security station lock, and an easy-to-use control interface with a sunlight-viewable 5.7" color LCD display.

For enhanced precision, NAV Mode ensures adaptive track steering, while Automatic Leeway Compensation (ALC) corrects for drift, tide, and wind. An optional bow-thruster interface allows for hands-free station keeping, making it ideal for professional fishing operations.

The SP38 is also built for durability, featuring an IP67 waterproof-rated control head and compliance with RoHS & CE standards for electromagnetic interference protection.
