Cockpit pilots

Cockpit pilots are easy-to-install autopilot systems that mount directly to your boat's helm, wheel or tiller. Raymarine offers several different cockpit pilot options engineered for vessels up to 30 feet in length.

below deck pilots

Typically recommended for boats larger than 30 feet, below deck autopilots generally consist of three main components: the drive unit, the corepack, and a control head. Raymarine SmartPilot systems accommodate a wide range of steering systems including hydraulic, mechanical, and power assisted stern drive steering systems. Step One: Choose a Control Head The control head is your interface to the autopilot system. Add additional control heads wherever you need to interact with the autopilot system. Step Two: Select a Drive Unit Under the control of the course computer Raymarine autopilot drive units interface with your vessels steering system for reliable and straight course keeping. A broad range of drive units are available to match almost any type of steering system.

When it comes to autopilots, there is one name that stands above the rest. Raymarine is synonymous with performance, reliability and ease of use. With a comprehensive range of pilots to choose from, whatever type of boating you enjoy cruising, racing or fishing an Autohelm Series autopilot from Raymarine is the right pilot for your boat.
Raymarine the intelligent choice of pilot.
No matter which model you choose, every Raymarine pilot is packed with intelligent features. From a basic tiller pilot to a powerful inboard system, each comes with a simple, intuitive keypad for easy operation and a clear, functional LCD display to keep you informed (option for SportPilot). SeaTalk and NMEA compatibility allow you to integrate the pilot as part of a complete Raymarine navigation system. Set the pilot to steer a course, track to a waypoint from your GPS or chartplotter, or steer to the wind. Additional control units and hand held remote controls ensure you remain in complete command anywhere on board. Behind the scenes, intelligent software and proven hardware have earned Raymarine a reputation for building the worlds finest autopilots to steer your boat in all conditions. Some of the features you will find in Autohelm pilots from Raymarine: Informative and versatile LCD display. Simple push-button control keypad. SeaTalk/NMEA compatible. Track to waypoint from GPS or chartplotter. Instrument/navigation Datapages. Remote control and multi-station option. AutoTack (programmable turn). Steer to wind angle - True/Apparent. Rudder angle display.
AST Advanced Steering Technology: state-of-the-art software, for new G-series course computers with built in rate gyro, gives superb steering performance and boat handling (see page 37). AutoLearn: When fitted with the 150G/400G core packs, the ST6001 and ST7001 inboard pilots learn your boats handling characteristics for optimum pilot performance. SeaTalk Networking: The world renowned on-board plug and play solution for connecting multiple remote autopilot displays and connecting to Raymarine integrated navigation systems. Data pages: Customize your favorite navigation information to be displayed as you would like to see it.
Right choice the world over
In a recent survey of over 130 transatlantic yacht skippers, 70% use an Autohelm from Raymarine to get them safely across the ocean*, and in the worlds toughest single-handed yacht races, youll find Raymarine autopilots steering the boats day and night, all over the globe. No wonder the worlds top boat builders fit Raymarine as standard equipment.

Right technology

With literally millions of miles of experience in steering all kinds of boats, its no surprise that Autohelm (Raymarine today) pioneered all the major advances in autopilot technology integration with instrument and navigation systems, the fluxgate compass, push button steering, AutoSeastate, AutoAdapt, AutoTrim and now AST Advanced Steering Technology.
* Figures quoted in June 2001 Yachting World.
AutoTack: Tacks the boat through a preset, user-defined turn.
Automatic Compass correction: Automatically adjusts the compass to give accurate read outs and heading information on all headings.
Auto Speed Gain: Adjusts the amount of helm applied at different boat speeds for a smooth safe ride.
Wind Trim: When sailing to a set wind angle, the pilot will monitor subtle wind shifts and alert you if there is a long term shift which may affect your ability to hold a course. AutoSeastate and AutoTrim: Automatically adjusts for wind and sea conditions to hold the best course.

Tech tip

Remember, always take the fully laden displacement weight of your vessel into account, this is often 20% above the designed displacement, so dont be tempted to choose a pilot which will always be working at the limits of its designed capabilities. If you choose your pilot with safety in mind, it wont struggle when the going gets tough.
Course Memory: After a manual course change to avoid an obstruction, simply press down Auto for one second to return to your previous course.
Calibration Lock: Allows you to secure your customized settings from unauthorized access.
Selecting the perfectinboard pilot system.

An introduction to inboard autopilots
Inboard pilots must be powerful enough to handle the demanding loads applied to the steering system of larger boats. The drive unit of an inboard pilot is mounted below decks linking directly with the boats steering system all you see at the helm is the control unit. Raymarine offers a range of control units to suit your needs and style. To determine which drive unit you require, simply answer the questions in this chart. Once you have selected a drive, refer to pages 74 & 75 for detailed drive specification and part number information.
IS THE STEERING HYDRAULIC?
Selecting the right pilot
An inboard pilot consists of a drive unit, corepack and your choice of control units. The first step is to specify the correct drive unit to match your boat's steering system, displacement and size. Use the flowchart (right) and specifications on pages 74 & 75 as a guide*. Next, select the appropriate corepack; T150/T400 or G-series 150G/400G course computer (with AST and built-in gyro). Finally, choose from ST7001, ST6001, ST600R or Raypilot 650 control units.
* We recommend that you consult a Raymarine approved dealer who can specify, install and commission the correct Raymarine system for your boat. An approved installation also carries our full worldwide 2 year warranty.
