Page 8: Rudder Reference Information
The basic SPX-10 system is supplied without a rudder reference transducer, so in the basic system, the Pilot Controller display does not show a rudder reference bar or indicator. However, the SPX-10 system is compatible with the Raymarine rudder reference transducer, and this can be fitted as an option. -
