Advanced Autopilot System for Outboard, Inboard, and Sterndrive Vessels

The Si-Tex SP-80 Autopilot with Linear Rudder Reference No Drive is designed to provide effortless and accurate navigation for vessels equipped with hydraulic or mechanical steering systems. Whether you're on an outboard, inboard, or sterndrive vessel, this autopilot takes control, allowing you to focus on the journey. With a built-in NMEA 0183 Loran/GPS interface, the SP-80 seamlessly pilots to your next waypoint, ensuring precision and reliability at sea.

Intuitive and Waterproof Control Head

Designed for both flush and surface mounting, the SP-80’s control head is fully waterproof, making it ideal for marine environments. The bold, backlit display offers ten brightness levels, ensuring excellent visibility in all lighting conditions. The system also supports expansion, allowing a second control station with the SI-TEX SP-70 Handheld Control Unit for added convenience.

Smart Steering and Safety Features

This autopilot system enhances maneuverability with automatic sea state and trim controls, along with ten selectable levels of rudder sensitivity for high and low-speed operation. The rudder feedback system ensures precise control, while the Ghost Rudder backup function keeps the autopilot operational even if rudder feedback fails. Additionally, the built-in heading output stabilizes radar displays, enhancing situational awareness.

Built-in Diagnostics and Customizable Settings

The SP-80 includes built-in diagnostics and self-tests, along with both visual and audible alarms, ensuring the system operates efficiently at all times.
