Description
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.
The Raymarine ST2000 Plus tiller pilot is a totally self-contained autopilot designed for tiller steered sailboats.
Compared to the very similar ST2000 Tiller Pilot, this ST1000 is designed for smaller vessels with a maximum displacement up to 6,000 pounds.
This autopilot mounts between the tiller and a single attachment point on the boat’s structure.
It is designed for owner installation and is ready for use after connection to the boat’s 12 volt electrical system.
An AutoTack function 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 a SeaTalk/NMEA GPS, the clear, backlit LCD and 6-button keypad make this pilot safe and easy to use.
The tiller pilot has four basic operating modes:
• Standby mode: autopilot off
• Auto mode: autopilot engaged and locked onto a heading
• Track mode: autopilot on and maintaining a track between two waypoints created on a navigation system
• WindTrim mode: autopilot on and maintaining a course relative to an apparent wind angle
The ST2000 is SeaTalk compatible, so it can share data transmitted from other Raymarine SeaTalk instruments:
• Wind information from a wind instrument can be used for wind vane steering without the need to install a separate vane
• Ttrack information, from a navigator, enables the autopilot to provide waypoint control
• Boat speed from a speed instrument can provide optimum track keeping performance
• SeaTalk compatibility also allows additional fixed and hand-held autopilot control units to be easily connected at secondary steering and control positions
• This tiller pilot can also be used with any navigator transmitting NMEA 0183 or NMEA 0180 data. The tiller pilot can be calibrated to suit each installation to provide maximum performance with many types of boat.
• Reversible, for port or starboard mounting
• 1-3/4" (45 mm) segmented LCD display: Heading, Locked Course, Navigation Information
• Three levels of display lighting, plus Off
• Both course and fine course change controls
• NMEA 0183 input SeaTalk connection
