Common Question of SI-TEX SP-80
What is the SP-80 control head?
The SI-TEX SP-80 is identified as an autopilot control head only. It provides user-interface functions but does not represent a complete steering system. Confirm pump or drive, feedback, heading source, wiring, power supply, software, and marine autopilot controller compatibility before installation.
Does it include a drive unit?
No. The SP-80 listing specifies control head only and does not include a pump, mechanical drive, feedback sensor, course computer, heading source, wiring, or mounting hardware. Confirm the remaining components required for the selected autopilot system before purchase.
Is it a windlass controller?
No. The SI-TEX SP-80 controls compatible autopilot steering and does not operate an anchor gypsy, drum, chain, or rope. It is not an anchor windlass component. Verify separate controls for marine anchor retrieval.
