ST8002 S1G Smartpilot for Hydraulic Outboard Steering Systems - Gear UP Sales Event Choosing the Right Autopilot:SmartPilot S1G 12-volt Autopilot Corepack with built in Rate Gyro and AST 12 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 cylinder ram sized 4.9-10.5 cubic inchesBuilt in Rate Gyro Raymarine AST Advanced Steering Technology with AutoLearn Gyro Stablized heading output for MARPA and radar/chart overlay on Raymarine RadarsBehind the SmartPilot's autopilot control head is the intelligence hub of the system, the Corepack. Consisting of an advanced course computer, fluxgate compass and rudder feedback, the Corepack is an integral part of the autopilot system. The S1G's 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 installed 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 mechanism is gimballed, enabling it to handle pitch and roll movements up to +/-35 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
