Up for bid is a used, in excellent condition, Sitex Sp-70 autopilot. I removed this unit from a boat that I sold. I then returned the entire system to Sitex to have all components checked out. All components checked out and Sitex upgraded the processor. This unit has the newest Teleflex SmartStik outboard rudder feedback system (a $450 addition). This does not come standard with the SP-70. The drive unit is very powerful and holds a course even at slow troll. The system as it is will work with single and twin outboard set-ups. It will also work with inboards with the proper rudder feedback unit (not included). Before bidding, check the specs for this unit at Sitex. My experience with Sitex customer support has been very favorable.

Walking on the Edge: Ford blings out 2011 Sport crossover with 22s, blacked-out grille
Wed, 14 Jul 2010“Dude, that is sick,” a rival designer gushed to Ford's Doyle Letson when the 2011 Edge Sport was revealed at the Chicago auto show last winter. “What does it look like with the real wheels on?” Letson replied, “Those are the real wheels.” The rollers in question are 22-inch forged aluminum wheels with tuxedo-black spoke accents wrapped in Pirelli tires. They look like they're stolen from a SEMA concept, and they're perhaps the single most distinguishing feature on the Sport model, which launches with the rest of the redone Edge lineup later this summer.
