Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot

Description

Connect a compatible tiller-steered vessel to the Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot, a self-contained 12V actuator with an internal lead-screw drive and fluxgate compass. The unit is specified for vessels up to 10,000 lb displacement and produces 169 lb, or 77 kg, of thrust through linear push-pull movement. A transom pin, tiller pin, and deck socket form the stated mechanical mounting arrangement.

The actuator measures 450 mm when retracted, has a 95 mm body width, and weighs 1.15 kg, or 2.5 lb. Hardover-to-hardover travel is specified at 4.5 seconds. Standby draw is 40 mA, typical draw is 0.5A, and maximum draw reaches 10A under load. SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 connections are integrated, while IPX6 splash protection applies to the housing.

Key Specifications of the Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot

• The self-contained tiller actuator connects directly to a compatible tiller arm through the documented linear push-pull steering arrangement.
• Vessel displacement is specified up to 10,000 lb, requiring selection within the stated size and steering-load limit.
• Thrust is rated at 169 lb, or 77 kg, while an internal lead screw provides the specified actuator-drive mechanism.
• A 12V DC direct-wired supply supports the tiller pilot, with 40 mA standby draw and 10A maximum draw under load.
• Hardover-to-hardover movement is listed at 4.5 seconds, providing the documented full-travel timing for this actuator configuration.
• SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 interfaces support the stated data connections for compatible onboard navigation and autopilot equipment.
• The 450 mm retracted chassis and 95 mm body width require suitable transom, tiller-pin, and deck-socket placement before installation.

Drive and Tiller Integration

This Raymarine tiller pilot combines the actuator, control interface, and internal fluxgate compass in one unit. It connects directly to a compatible tiller arm and requires the correct transom pin, tiller pin, deck socket, and mounting geometry. The supplied deck socket and mounting hardware should be fitted according to Raymarine installation requirements.

System response depends on vessel displacement, tiller geometry, actuator placement, power supply, calibration, and the complete installed steering arrangement. The unit does not replace proper navigation practice, visual lookout, charts, or responsible vessel operation.

Why Choose the Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot

The Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot combines a 12V linear actuator, 169 lb thrust rating, internal lead-screw drive, fluxgate compass, SeaTalk connection, and NMEA 0183 interface. Its 10,000 lb displacement limit, 4.5-second hardover time, 450 mm retracted length, 40 mA standby draw, 10A peak demand, and direct tiller connection provide specific fitment checks for a compatible tiller-steered vessel.

Setup and Network Considerations

Confirm that the vessel uses a compatible tiller-steering arrangement and remains within the 10,000 lb displacement limit before selecting this actuator. Plan the transom-pin and tiller-pin positions, deck-socket location, 450 mm retracted length, cable route, and 12V DC circuit for up to 10A draw. Follow Raymarine instructions for mounting geometry, compass setup, SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 connection, and calibration.

Warranty and Support

Raymarine warranty terms vary by product and region, and the supplied specifications do not provide a named warranty period for the ST2000 Plus. Mulmarine.com can help you review vessel displacement, tiller-arm geometry, mounting-pin positions, deck-socket location, 12V circuit capacity, SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 connection, and installation requirements before purchase. Review the applicable Raymarine warranty coverage and documented package contents before ordering.

Before Ordering the Raymarine ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilot

Confirm that your vessel uses compatible tiller steering and has a displacement at or below 10,000 lb. You should verify the required transom pin, tiller pin, deck socket, 450 mm retracted length, 169 lb thrust rating, 4.5-second travel, 12V circuit capacity for up to 10A draw, and SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 requirements before purchase.
