SPX5 Sport Drive Pilot SmartPilot Inboard autopilot Systems

The SPX-5 Sport Wheel Drive Pilot is a helm mounted autopilot designed for use on small sports and fi shing boats typically up to 9.2m (30') in length. Suitable for use with fi xed and tilt helms, the pilot consists of a drive unit that fi ts over your existing steering wheel shaft, a course computer with a rate gyro for precise course keeping a control head with large LCD information display.Operation couldn't be simpler… steer on to your desired course, press the large red AUTO button and let go of the wheel! It really is that simple. To disengage the pilot and regain manual control, grab hold of the wheel and press the STANDBY button. You now have control! When part of a SeaTalk boat navigation system, the Sport Drive can track to single waypoints or follow a route consisting of multiple waypoints. Next to choosing the boat itself, choosing the right autopilot can be one of the most important decision a boat owner has to make. With a vast array of autopilot models and configurations to choose from, selecting the right autopilot can seem like a daunting task. The following pages are designed to help you choose the right Raymarine SmartPilot system for your boat. An inboard autopilot system consists of three elements: Autopilot Control Head This is the display unit you use to control your autopilot system. Raymarine offers a number of options, including multiple control heads, as well as full- function remotes and joystick controls. Course Computer The course computer is the central intelligence hub of the autopilot system, linking your control head to the drive unit.Every SPX system – from the largest SPX-30 to the entry-level SPX-5 – comes with a rate gyro to provide the best possible performance.SPX uses Advanced Steering Technology (AST), which intelligently monitors the yaw of the vessel and actually anticipates course changes as well as ensuring razor-sharp course keeping.SPX features Raymarine’s proven AutoLearn function, so the pilot automatically understands the vessel’s steering characteristics, simplifying calibration and allowing the vessel to constantly adapt to changing sea conditions. Drive Unit The drive unit is the part that interfaces with your vessel's steering system to keep you on the right course. Raymarine has a broad range of drive units, to match almost any type of steering system.Over the next few pages, we'll explain the factors to consider when choosing each of these parts of your system.
