Description
Internal Feedback and Mechanical Helm Analysis
Mechanical cable steering frequently lacks the precision required for stable autopilot tracking due to internal gear backlash. The SI-TEX SP-70-7 features a Mechanical Dash Drive with built-in rudder feedback for absolute accuracy. This unit replaces the helm to provide direct steering torque.
The system utilizes NMEA 0183 protocols to integrate heading data and GPS position for automated navigation. Internal software filters compensate for vessel roll and pitch variables to stabilize course tracking. The dash-integrated drive simplifies vessel architecture by eliminating external hydraulic pumps and hoses.
Strategic Vessel Application
Designed for powerboats with mechanical cable steering requiring a dash-mounted drive and integrated feedback.
