The SI-TEX SP-120C Autopilot system, part number SP120C-RF-4, is a navigational instrument designed for small vessels under 38 feet. It is compatible with hydraulic, mechanical, and solenoid steering systems. This autopilot integrates a 9-axis rate gyro compass for steering response and utilizes GPS Speed over Ground (SOG) and Course over Ground (COG) inputs to enhance performance. The system features a compact, splash-proof 4.1-inch x 4.1-inch control head with a color LCD, displaying actual compass heading, selected heading, and rudder angle simultaneously. It supports multiple steering modes including Manual, Auto, and GPS waypoint steering via NMEA-0183 interface. The SP-120C is suitable for vessel operators seeking an integrated autopilot solution without requiring a separate junction box, as all connections are made directly to the control head. It addresses the need for automated course keeping and navigation, reducing manual steering effort for appropriate vessel sizes.
