SPX-D10 AUTOPILOT FOR ZF
SAILDRIVE SYSTEMS
TheSPX-D10isauniquepilotproduct,dedicatedtotheZFSailDrive
system. The SailDrive system is installed on sailing yachts, and when
twinned with a bow thruster, provides a revolutionary manoeuvring
and propulsion drive for docking, accessed via a dedicated joystick
interface.
The SPX-D10 autopilot automatically centres and holds the rudder
whentheSailDriveisengagedtocreateastableplatformfor360º
manoeuvring. This feature is of course in addition to the class-leading
autopilot performance common to all SPX-series autopilots.
Currently the ZF SailDrive system is only available on selected
BeneteauandJeanneauboats.
Features
Features and functions are identical to the SPX-30 (see table on page
92), but with the following changes:
• Dedicated ZF SailDrive system autopilot.
• SPX-D10 system comes complete with fluxgate compass and rudder
reference unit.
• Rudder reference sensor must always be fitted.
Designed to integrate with all NMEA 2000 steer-by-wire CAN
based systems the Raymarine SPX-40 represents the convergence of
autopilot and propulsion technology. Employing Raymarine’s proven
AST (Advanced Steering Technology), the SPX-40 delivers razor sharp
course keeping and smooth course turns, in conjunction with the
compatible ‘steer by wire’ propulsion systems.
Building on the innovative technology of the SPX-CAN pilot, the
SPX-40 introduces Raymarine’s AST (Advanced Steering Technology)
to the new ZF-Marine Steer Command system for POD and stern drive
applications.
Connection is simplicity itself with the SPX-40 linking directly with the
Steer Command management unit (VMU) over the CAN bus, without
the need for a separate interface box.
Connection to Raymarine’s class-leading multifunction displays and
instruments is achieved via the proven SeaTalk technology.
