Sitex SP-70 Outboard Pilot Linear Reference No Drive

The Sitex SP-70 Outboard Pilot Linear Reference No Drive is a precision marine autopilot system designed for serious boaters who require reliable, hands-off steering in various conditions. This system is ideal for those undertaking multi-hour offshore passages, holding position in challenging seas, or navigating busy coastal waters.

Engineered by SI-TEX, a reputable name in marine electronics, the SP-70 utilizes linear reference technology to provide superior course-holding accuracy compared to simpler compass-based systems. It continuously monitors the vessel's heading and automatically adjusts the steering to compensate for drift caused by environmental factors like wind and current.

This autopilot system is particularly beneficial for outboard and jet-drive operators of small to mid-sized sport-fishing boats, cruisers, and commercial work vessels. The "no drive" designation indicates that the control unit requires an external actuator for operation, allowing for flexible integration with existing hydraulic or mechanical steering systems.
