Common Question of SI-TEX SP-120 Rudder
What does this SP-120 include?
The SI-TEX SP-120 Color System includes rudder feedback and a Type S mechanical dash drive according to the listing. Confirm steering configuration, pump, feedback sensor, control head, wiring, battery, mounting, calibration, and hydraulic autopilot system compatibility before installation.
What does rudder feedback do?
Rudder feedback reports steering position to the autopilot computer, allowing it to monitor movement and correct heading. Confirm sensor installation, mechanical linkage, alignment, control-unit compatibility, power supply, and calibration before operation for accurate autopilot response.
Does it retrieve anchors?
No. The SP-120 system manages steering and does not operate an anchor gypsy, drum, chain, or rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Use dedicated marine anchoring equipment for marine anchor retrieval.
