The innovative SmartPilot X-5
Wheel autopilot is equipped with the fully enclosed MkII wheel-drive
for simple installation and below deck autopilot performance.
Complete with everything needed for easy installation, the SmartPilot X-5 Wheel is quick to fit and simple to use.
Mount
the separate control unit where it is easy to reach and see. The
patented fluxgate compass is mounted separately for optimum
performance. The LCD shows the pilot status and repeats up to seven
pages of user-defined navigation data from your ST60 system. It is also
equipped with the latest SeaTalkng networking and a standard rate-gyro
processor ensuring razor sharp course keeping under any conditions.
The SmartPilot X-5 Wheel is designed for yachts with a laden displacement of up to 16,500lbs (7,500kg)
Remember,
always take the fully laden displacement weight of your vessel into
account. This is often 20% above the designed displacement. Do not
choose a pilot which will always be working at the limit of its design
capabilities.
