SI-TEX
has added a new member to its growing family of high-performance
autopilots. The new-for-2011 SI-TEX SP-110 is an ideal
solution for owners of small to medium sized powerboats,
combining advanced steering features, simple push-button
operation and rugged reliability. The SP-110’s
Virtual Rudder Feedback capabilities — which eliminate
the need for a separate rudder feedback unit — further
enhance this new pilot’s simplicity, affordability
and performance.
With a compact, splash-proof
control head measuring just 4.3” square, the SP-110 can be mounted on
just about any helm, console or dash. In addition, the
SP-110 is specially designed to provide a family appearance
with SI-TEX’s new SST-110 Digital Water Temperature
Gauge and SDD-110 Digital Depth Gauge, making for an
attractive and functional helm electronics package.
The SP-110 will pilot
hydraulically steered boats using either a reversing
pump or continuous
drive unit. It
can also be used on mechanically steered inboard, outboard
and sterndrive vessels when paired with SI-TEX’s
new Remote Mechanical Drive system. Features include
a transflective LCD display showing course and function
data, simple operation with just four push buttons, better
than 1 degree course detection and GPS mode (when interfaced
to GPS/chartplotter via NMEA0183 input/output) for easy,
automatic waypoint steering.
SI-TEX’s affordable
SP-110 system ( starting MSRP $1,449. excluding drive)
comes
complete
with the control
unit, standard rate compass, and all necessary hardware
for flush or bracket installation.
The SP-110 also comes with a two-year limited warranty,
the boater’s assurance of reliable performance
in the harsh marine environment.
