SPX-5 SPORT DRIVE FIXED
PILOT
The SPX-5 Sport Wheel Drive Pilot is a helm mounted
autopilot designed for use on small sports and fishing boats
typically up to 9.2m (30') in length. Suitable for use with fixed
and tilt helms, the pilot consists of a drive unit that fits over
your existing steering wheel shaft, a course computer with
a rate gyro for precise course keeping and control head with
large LCD information display.
Operation couldn't be simpler… steer onto your desired
course, press the large red AUTO button (black on optional
ST70 control head) 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 navigation system,
the Sport Drive can track to single waypoints or follow a route
consisting of multiple waypoints.
Weights
` Mechanical steered boats – up to 4,400lbs.
` Hydraulic steered boats – up to 7,000lbs.
Features
` Install the drive unit directly on to your existing steering wheel
(tapered steering shaft behind the wheel).

TM
(SRS) enabled - Rudder Reference
Transducer not required.
` Easy to install and simple to calibrate thanks to the intelligent
Autolearn software that automatically learns your boat's handling
characteristics.
` Rate gyro built into the course computer ensures precise course
keeping.
` Ideal for trolling speed applications.
