ST8002 S1 Smartpilot for Inboard Hydraulic Steering Systems - Gear UP Sales Event Choosing the Right Autopilot:This complete SmartPilot System package was designed for medium sized inboard powerboats with hydraulic steering. The SmartPilot System works with hydraulic steering systems having ram capacities between 4.9 and 10.5 cubic inches 80cc - The system comes with an ST8002 Control Head, S1 Corepack with course computer, rudder reference and fluxgate compass and a Type 1 12 Volt Hydraulic Drive.ST8002 Control HeadSimply dial in your destination and press auto! The all-new ST8002 control head puts total helm control at your fingertips with an easy-to-use rotary control for precision course changes and convenient power steering control. The oversized LCD display delivers large high contrast characters of pilot status, compass heading and user defined data pages, transforming the ST8002 into a versatile navigation instrument repeater display.Type 1 12Volt Hydraulic PumpReversing hydraulic pump for use with steering systems equipped with 4.9-14 cubic inch 80cc - hydraulic steering rams.SmartPilot S1 12-volt Autopilot Corepack12 Volt mini course computer designed for use with Type 1 Drives 6 Amp 15 Amp peak motor drive output Recommended for hydraulically steered vessels with 4.9-10.5 cubic inch cylinder ramsThe SmartPilot S1 course computer is the intelligence behind your autopilot system. It includes a powerful microprocessor, programmed with all the steering know-how Raymarine gained with autopilots on hundreds of thousands of boats over many years. The course computer performs the main course keeping function and also houses the electronic control circuitry for the drive unit and power amplifier. NMEA inputs and outputs enable it to operate easily with equipment from other manufacturers. A SeaTalk interface provides connection to the control head and communication with other Raymarine devices. Almost as important as the course computer, the Smartpilot S1 wouldn't function without its Fluxgate Compass. The fluxgate compass module houses a state-of-the-art electronic compass mechanism, capable of tracking your boat's heading with incredible accuracy. The gimballed mechanism handles pitch and roll movements up to +/- degrees. The fluxgate compass connects directly to the course computer. It mounts on a bulkhead below decks on most boats; if yours is a steel-decked boat, the compass will be mounted above decks, out of the reach of magnetic interference. The Rudder Reference Transducer performs a vital role too: it tells the course computer the precise position of your boat's rudder at all times. the rotary model is most commonly required; the linear model is used for hydraulic outboard steering systems. The rotary model is mounted adjacent to the rudder stock, while the outboard's linear model is mounted on the bullhorn ram of outboard engines. FREE Shipping Over $100, No Sales Tax
