SI-TEX SP-120 System w/Rudder Feedback & 9CI Pump

The SI-TEX SP-120 System w/Rudder Feedback & 9CI Pump is a professional-grade autopilot designed for serious cruisers and commercial operators who demand reliable hands-free steering on extended passages. Built by SI-TEX, a trusted name in marine electronics for decades, this system helps reduce fatigue on long runs and maintains a consistent course in variable conditions. Whether you're navigating coastal waters, offshore routes, or confined channels, the SP-120 is engineered to assist in maintaining your heading.

At the heart of this system is the 9CI pump, a compact and efficient hydraulic actuator that translates autopilot commands into smooth rudder movement. The rudder feedback integration is a key feature, as it senses rudder position to help adjust steering commands, which can enhance course stability. This closed-loop design aims to reduce fuel consumption by preventing oscillation around your set heading, thus delivering improved performance in varying sea conditions.

Commercial operators, charter captains, and recreational boaters will find the SP-120 particularly beneficial for its compact footprint and modest weight, making installation feasible on boats with limited space and weight capacity. This system is compatible with hydraulic steering systems, ensuring a seamless integration with existing boat electronics. Enjoy the freedom to focus on navigation and crew management while the SP-120 handles the steering.
