Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Overview Your Raymarine tiller pilot is a totally self-contained autopilot designed for tiller steered sailboats. The autopilot is mounted 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 V electrical system. -
Page 6: Specifications
ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook The ST1000 Plus and ST2000 Plus tiller pilots 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. -

Page 19: Using Track Mode
Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot 2.4 Using Track mode In Track mode, the tiller pilot maintains a track between waypoints created on a navigation system. The tiller pilot computes any course changes to keep your boat on track, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway. - Page 20 ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook 5. Check that it is safe to turn the boat onto the new course. 6. Press -10 and +10 together: • the boat will now turn on to the new course •...
-
Page 21: Returning To Auto From Track Mode
Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot Manual track acquisition at low speeds Using manual acquisition at low speeds requires additional care as tidal streams have a far more significant effect at lower speeds than at higher speeds. In general terms, if the tidal flow is less than 35% of the boat’s speed, you will not notice any difference in the tiller pilot’s performance in Track mode. -
Page 22: Tidal Stream Compensation
ST1000 Plus & ST2000 Plus Tiller Pilots - Owner’s Handbook The tiller pilot displays the cross track error in the following ways: On track Off track to port (steer to starboard) Off track to starboard (steer to port) D3294-2 Tidal stream compensation Under most operating conditions, Track mode will hold the selected track to within ±0.05 nm (300 ft) or better. -
