Selecting an Tiller Pilot
Raymarine Evolution Specification
The right Tiller pilot, correctly installed, will give you years of
dependable service and will quickly become a valued member of the crew. Start by
selecting the correct pilot for your needs.
Remember, always use fully laden displacement which is often 20% above the
designed displacement, and don’t be tempted to choose a pilot which is always
working at the limits of its designed capabilities. If you choose your pilot
with safety in mind, then it won’t struggle when the going gets tough.

Raymarine ST1000 & ST2000 Tiller Pilots
Invented by Autohelm in 1973, tiller pilots have consistently been the
world's most popular pilot ever since, setting the
standard for performance, reliability and ease of use.
AutoTack lets you handle the sheets while the pilot tacks the boat and
AutoSeastate intelligently keeps the boat on course while conserving power.
Whether used as a stand-alone pilot or with SeaTalk/ NMEA GPS, the clear
backlit LCD and 6 button keypad make these pilots safe and easy to use.
Recommended Maximum Displacement
Raymarine ST1000: 3,000kg (6,600lbs)
Raymarine ST2000: 4,500kg (10,000lbs)
Remember to always take the fully laden displacement weight of your vessel
into account (often 20% above the designed displacement).
