Autopilots
spx-5 & spx-5gp tiller Drive autopilots
The rugged SPX-5 and SPX-5 GP Tiller Pilots are perfect for large tiller steered yachts up to 6,000kg
(13,200lbs) and 7,500kg (16,000lbs) displacement respectively.
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. Used by some of the world’s top single-handed sailors, Raymarine tiller pilots meet
the demands of the serious sailor. The SPX-5 Tiller Pilot is suitable for most cruising and racing scenarios,
however, extended cruising or challenging racing conditions may benefit from the added ruggedness
of the SPX-5 GP Tiller Pilot. Whichever you choose, the large clear display shows you up-to-the-minute
information and also acts as a multifunction instrument or navaid repeater.

Installation
We recommend that you consult a Raymarine approved dealer who can
specify, install and commission the correct Raymarine system for your boat. An
approved installation also carries our full worldwide 2 year warranty.
*Remember, always take the fully laden displacement weight of your
vessel into account, this is often 20% above the designed displacement,
so don’t be tempted to choose a pilot which will always be working at
the limits of its design capabilities. If you choose your pilot with safety in
mind, it won’t struggle when the going gets tough.
Note: For extended cruising, we recommend the use of the more
powerful SPX-5 GP Tiller Drive.
