Si-Tex Marine SI-TEX is committed to developing new products based on the ways customers really use their boats, rather than just cramming in a bunch of costly bells and whistles for the sake of marketing buzz.

T-760 Compact Color Radar with 4kW 18" Dome Big radar performance and features are available for any size boat -- and budget with the SI-TEX T-760. A vertically oriented, slim case boasts advanced touch screen technology and a host of professional features. Powerful 4kW output ensures superior target acquisition and tracking in the the most challenging conditions. The T-760 Series case measures only 5.4" W X 8.9" H X 3.5" D. Yet, this system boasts a long list of professional-grade features, including powerful 4kW output, up to 24nm range, multi-speed antenna rotation, standard 50-target AIS tracking capability and standard 10-target MARPA - features often associated with larger, costlier systems. Control of all these features is achieved via the T-760's touch screen LCD display and single rotary encoder dial, for simple, intuitive operation. The series includes the T-760, equipped with an 18-inch compact radome antenna for solid performance in a wide range of conditions and range scale choices from 1/8th nm to 24nm. Both the T-760 and T-761 feature powerful 4kW transmitters, ensuring accurate detection and presentation of targets large and small. Both models also offer multi-speed antenna rotation (16/27/36/48rpm) for optimum target detection and tracking over a range of boat speeds. Among many other notable standard features of the T-760 Series are Relative Motion, True Motion, North-Up, Head-Up and Course-Up presentation modes, Auto or Manual Sea/Rain Clutter modes, 11 Trail Indication settings (including Off and Continuous), and more. With input from a SI-TEX Metadata AIS module (or other AIS receiver), the T-760 Series can track up to 50 AIS targets simultaneously for enhanced navigational safety in crowded waterways. With input of bearing, ship's speed and lat/lon data, the T-760 Series empowers navigators with professional MARPA tracking of up to 10 targets at distances up to 20nm. In the SI-TEX tradition, the T-760 Series radar is ruggedly built to withstand harsh conditions at sea on commercial as well as recreational vessels. SI-TEX's two-year limited warranty and Long Island, New York-based service department are the navigator's assurance of reliable performance and long-term satisfaction Features: 7" color LCD display 10M Cable Intuitive touch screen/rotary dial control Standard 50 target AIS tracking Standard 10 target MARPA Multi-speed (16-48 rpm) antenna rotation for optimum performance in real-world conditions Features include Relative Motion/True Motion/Head-Up/North-Up Optional color RGB video output

SRA-1 Rudder Angle Indicator Displays precision analog position reading. A quick, positive, visual indication of rudder angle can be very important when docking or maneuvering a boat in tight quarters. It can save not only your gel coat but your pride. The SI-TEX SRA-1 Rudder Angle Indicator gives you a precise look at exactly where your rudder is positioned. An easy-to-read 3-1/8" diameter analog faceplate displays, in high resolution, the rudder position from zero through fifty degrees to either port or starboard. High visibility white characters and scale registrations, along with red and green directional markings stand out from a black background. Where many other analog rudder angle indicators have a pointer at the twelve o'clock position on the dial, the SRA-1's zero position is at six o'clock. This configuration has the advantage of being more intuitive. The indicator moves in exactly the same way as the rudder relative to the boat. The SRA-1 is designed for use with the SI-TEX SP-70 and SP-80 Autopilots, as well as others equipped with a rudder feedback transducer and an output connector for a rudder angle indicator. It will fit a standard 3-3/8" circular instrument cutout in a dash, or it can be mounted in an optional watertight ABS plastic case. Up to five SRA-1 units can be connected to a single SI-TEX autopilot.
