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.

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.

Choosing a Raymarine SmartPilot System

Overview.

Next to choosing the boat itself, choosing the right autopilot can be one of the most important decisions a captain has to make. With a vast array of autopilot models and configurations to choose from, selecting the right autopilot can seem like a daunting task. The following pages are designed to assist you in selecting the right Raymarine SmartPilot system for your boat. A SmartPilot system is a combination of Autopilot Control Head, Corepack and Drive Unit. Here is a brief explanation of each component and the necessary steps for choosing the right SmartPilot for your boat.

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 is available to match almost any type of steering system.

Hydraulic Drive

STEP 1. DRIVE UNIT SELECTION Know Your Boat and Your Steering System.
The first step in selecting an autopilot from Raymarine is choosing the proper autopilot drive unit for your vessel. Raymarine autopilot drive units are available in array of sizes and configurations to accommodate various steering system types and vessel displacements. To properly select an autopilot you will need to find out what type of steering system is installed. This may involve opening a few hatches and taking a peak at the gear, or this can be a simple as consulting your boat dealer or boat manufacturer. Raymarine SmartPilot systems accommodate both hydraulic, mechanical, and power assisted stern drive steering systems. If you are not sure how to determine what type of steering system is installed on your vessel consult an authorized Raymarine dealer. Raymarine dealers are well skilled and factory trained to evaluate and assist you in selecting the right Raymarine autopilot for your boat.

Control Head

The control head is your interface to the autopilot system. Raymarine control heads are available in several different configurations of display size and type. Multiple control heads can be used with any Raymarine autopilot system for dual or multi station installations. In addition, full function handheld remotes and joystick controls are available as options.

Corepack

The central intelligence hub of the autopilot system, Raymarine SmartPilot Fluxgate compass corepacks consist of a course computer, fluxgate compass, and rudder reference sensor. Corepacks are available in three different levels of performance, S1, S2 or S3, depending on the type drive and vessel size. Each Corepack is also available in a G version with a built in Rate Gyro for improved performance through Raymarines AST (Advanced Steering Technology).

Hydraulic Steering Systems.
Raymarine SmartPilots connect to hydraulic steering systems using a rugged hydraulic pump that is matched to the capacity of the hydraulic steering system. To match a Raymarine SmartPilot hydraulic pump to your vessel you need to learn the size (in cubic inches) of the actual hydraulic cylinder ram or rams that are mounted to the rudder on inboard engine boats or the ram mounted to the drive on outboard engine boats. Your steering system documentation will have this information. Alternatively you can look on the actual cylinder ram itself for the brand and model number. Once you have learned the model number of your cylinder ram(s) visit our website www.raymarine.com and access our hydraulic cylinder ram cross-reference guide to learn which hydraulic autopilot pump is compatible with your hydraulic steering system. Raymarine autopilot hydraulic pumps are available in several sizes to accommodate a broad range of steering cylinder capacities. The table below illustrates the capacity of each type of Raymarine hydraulic autopilot pump when used with the corresponding SmartPilot corepack.

In some systems with dual steering rams, cylinder capacity is total of the two rams Visit www.raymarine.com to learn more about selecting a hydraulic drive for dual steering ram systems. Vessels with outboard engines require an optional Linear Rudder feedback (Model number M81188) Hydraulic steering systems with steering rams over 30.5in3 require our larger constant running hydraulic pumps used in conjunction with or S3 or S3G corepacks. Visit www.raymarine.com for more on selecting a constant running hydraulic pump. Vessels with 24-volt DC power must use the S3 or S3G corepack and 24-volt drive. An authorized Raymarine Dealer is best suited for installing a hydraulic autopilot system.
Raymarine recommends that you consult a Raymarine approved dealer who can specify, install and commission the correct Raymarine system for your boat. Visit our website www.raymarine.com to locate an authorized Raymarine dealer.

SMARTPILOT TECH TIP

Mechanical Steering Systems
When selecting an autopilot drive unit for a mechanical steering system, the vessel displacement is the determining factor for selecting the properly sized drive. When determining your vessel displacement always add 20% to the dry weight of your vessel to account for the added weight of fuel, gear provisions and people. Next select the type of autopilot drive that is right for your mechanical steering system. Raymarine SmartPilot drive units for mechanical steering systems are available in linear, hydraulic linear and rotary drive configurations. Below are descriptions of each type of mechanical steering drive.

Mechanical Steering

MECHANICAL LINEAR DRIVES
Our most common drive types for sailing vessels, Raymarine mechanical linear drives provide powerful thrust, fast hard over times and quiet operation. Mounted below decks, the linear drive moves the rudder directly by pushing the tiller arm or a rudder quadrant.
