The rugged drive unit of the SPX-5 Tiller autopilot makes it the perfect choice for larger tiller steered yachts and racers. The SPX-5 Tiller autopilot is designed for vessels with a laden displacement of up to 6,000kg (13,200lbs). Choose the more powerful SPX-5GP Tiller for vessels with a laden displacement of up to 7,500kg (16,500lbs).

Choose the SPX-5 Tiller Corepack and combine with your choice of autopilot control head to complete your system.

 
Combine with any of the following autopilot control heads:

ST70 Colour autopilot control 

ST7002 Large screen control 

ST8002 Large screen with rotary control

You can steer straight to a waypoint, lock on to a given wind angle, or simply set and follow a course to steer by making the most of the full SeaTalk and NMEA compatibility. 

The fluxgate compass is separated from the drive unit for greater accuracy and you can mount the control unit wherever it will be within easy reach for you. SPX-5 Tiller is also equipped with the latest SeaTalk^ng networking and features and integrated rate gyro processors ensuring razor-sharp course keeping under any conditions..

Complete with everything needed for easy installation, the SPX-5 Tiller is quick to fit and simple to use. Used by the world’s top single-handed race skippers, Raymarine tiller pilots meet the demands of the serious sailor.

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.
