The SI-TEX SP-80-1 is a fixed-mount autopilot system built for inboard, outboard, and sterndrive vessels running hydraulic or quadrant steering. A built-in NMEA 0183 Loran/GPS interface lets the unit navigate automatically to your next waypoint, while Ghost Rudder backup keeps the system functional even if rudder feedback fails. The waterproof control head mounts flush or surface-mounted, and a second station can be added via the SI-TEX SP-70 Handheld Control Unit. This package includes the rotary feedback unit but no drive unit.
