The package includes a Type \"S\" mechanical dashboard drive with built-in rudder feedback, giving the system constant verification of every helm command. A Ghost Rudder backup uses stored rudder-movement memory to maintain steering if feedback is ever lost. NMEA 0183 Loran\/GPS interface enables automatic waypoint-following, and the waterproof control head installs flush or surface-mounted. An optional SI-TEX SP-70 Handheld Control Unit can be added for full second-station capability. Formerly listed as part number SP-80MS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Type \"S\" mechanical dashboard drive with built-in rudder feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with inboard, outboard, and sterndrive vessels using hydraulic or quadrant steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in NMEA 0183 Loran\/GPS interface for automatic waypoint navigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof control head -- flush or surface mount installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpandable with SI-TEX SP-70 Handheld Control Unit for full second-station operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold backlit display with ten selectable brightness levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital displays show rudder angle and active operating mode in real time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic Sea State and Trim controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen selectable rudder sensitivity levels with high and low speed settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudder feedback continuously verifies autopilot commands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhost Rudder backup calculates rudder movements from memory if feedback fails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeading Output feature for radar display stabilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in diagnostics, self-test routines, and visual\/audible alarms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Steering mode for push-button steering; Stand-By mode for manual steering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional analog Rudder Angle Indicator available for at-a-glance rudder position reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with solenoid valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormerly part number SP-80MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SI-TEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54530190967059,"sku":"SIT-SP-80-7","price":4031.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/9718\/3507\/files\/39475XL.jpg?v=1785972423","url":"https:\/\/www.elliottstackleandrigging.com\/products\/si-tex-sp-80-7-mechanical-dash-drive-w-built-in-feedback-sp-80-7","provider":"Elliott's Tackle \u0026 Rigging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
