SI-TEX SP-120 Color System w/Rudder Feedback & 18CI Pump

The SI-TEX SP-120 Color System with Rudder Feedback and 18CI Pump is a marine-grade autopilot designed for serious anglers and boaters who demand reliable hands-free steering on the water. Whether you're running a charter boat, guiding clients through demanding conditions, or taking your own vessel on extended offshore trips, this system eliminates fatigue and keeps your vessel on course while you focus on fishing, navigation, or crew management. Built for hydraulic, mechanical, and solenoid steering systems, it integrates seamlessly into modern and legacy marine installations without requiring a separate junction box.

The SP-120C's integrated 18-cubic-inch pump delivers consistent steering pressure, while the rudder feedback feature monitors actual rudder position to correct for wind, current, and sea state in real time. This closed-loop feedback system is the difference between a basic autopilot and a precision course-keeper—it accounts for drift and maintains your heading far more accurately than simple gyroscopic systems, especially critical when targeting structure or running defined migration routes. The color display provides intuitive readout of heading, turn rate, and system status, allowing you to dial in steering sensitivity and response characteristics for your specific hull and conditions.

This autopilot is ideal for commercial operators, tournament anglers, and cruising enthusiasts with boats ranging from center consoles to larger displacement hulls. Installation is straightforward on vessels with existing hydraulic or mechanical steering; the pump mounts cleanly, and the control head fits standard dashboard cutouts. Weighing 8.35 pounds and measuring 13 x 9 x 15 inches, the system balances robust construction with compact integration. Whether you're battling cross-currents in a tidal inlet or maintaining station over a wreck in open water, the SI-TEX SP-120C Color System delivers the precision and endurance your operation demands.
