Raymarine, A12005, ST2000 Cockpit Tiller Autopilots for Sailboats 10000 Lbs
Invented by Autohelm in 1973, tiller pilots have consistently been the world's most popular tiller pilots ever since, setting the standard for performance, reliability, and ease of use.
The ST2000 tiller pilot is self-contained, removable autopilot system for tiller-steered boats. Inside the durable housing is a powerful electric linear drive, precision fluxgate compass, and an easy-to-use control panel. A quick mounting and connect/disconnect system allows you to transition from hand-steering to autopilot control easily. Built-in SeaTalk networking allows the tiller pilot to communicate with the rest of your networked instruments, wind instrument, and chartplotter.
Convenient AutoTack mode 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 autopilot or with SeaTalk/ NMEA GPS, the clear backlit LCD and 6-button keypad make these pilots safe and easy to use.
Recommended Maximum Displacement & Usage
Remember to always take your vessel's fully laden displacement weight into account (often 20% above the designed displacement). The recommended displacement weight is: 4,500kg (10,000lbs)
The tiller drive is designed only for coastal cruising using tiller steered sail boats. It is not intended for offshore passage making.
