Raymarine 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. Advanced features are standard. 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 a SeaTalk/NMEA GPS, the clear backlit LCD and 6-button keypad make these pilots safe and easy to use.

Maximum boat
3 000 kg (6 600 lb) ST1000+
4,500 kg (10,000 lb) ST2000+

Overview
The rugged drive unit of the SPX-5 Tiller autopilot makes it the perfect choice for larger tiller steered yachts and racers. The SPX-5 Tiller autopilot is designed for vessels with a laden displacement of up to 6,000kg (13,200lbs). Choose the more powerful SPX-5GP Tiller for vessels with a laden displacement of up to 7,500kg (16,500lbs).

You can steer straight to a waypoint, lock on to a given wind angle, or simply set and follow a course to steer by making the most of the full SeaTalk and NMEA compatibility.

The fluxgate compass is separated from the drive unit for greater accuracy and you can mount the control unit wherever it will be within easy reach for you. The large clear ST6002 display shows you up-to-the-minute information and also acts as a multi-function instrument or navaid repeater. SPX-5 Tiller is also equipped with the latest SeaTalkng networking and features and integrated rate gyro processors ensuring razor-sharp course keeping under any conditions..

Complete with everything needed for easy installation, the SPX-5 Tiller is quick to fit and simple to use. Used by the world’s top single-handed race skippers, Raymarine tiller pilots meet the demands of the serious sailor.

Remember, always take the fully laden displacement weight of your vessel into account. This is often 20% above the designed displacement. Do not choose a pilot which will always be working at the limit of its design capabilities.
