Product is good delivery excellent. Promte delivery after one day !!!

I already have 2 ST2000s (one in reserve), it works great with it. The handling is absolutely easy, and if you pass the calibration clean, then the pilot and the compass are almost identical. \ R \ nA great tiller pilot. \ R \ nThis is why I bought another for my son's boat because of the good experience Take pilots, if this runs super?

Product details

Since their development in 1973 by Autohelm, the ST1000 and ST2000 auto-pilots / tiller pilots have become the most popular in the world. They are the benchmark for performance, reliability and user-friendliness. State-of-the-art features and functions come as standard.

Built-in fluxgate compass, clearly arranged controls, safe from heeling up to 45°, alarm in case of course deviation, automatic yaw angle adjustment between 1.5° and 10°. The system is ready to be connected to a wind vane and hand remote control. Using the built-in NMEA 0180/0183 interface, the system can utilise data from navigators (and other manufacturers) and then automatically controls the entered sailing plan. The autopilot is equipped with an LC-display, which shows the currently controlled course in automatic mode, in "standby mode" the target course is shown. The autopilot is also SeaTalk compatible and can be connected to Raymarine's ST40/60 series without expansion.

Device that fulfills its mission, without more

My unit specifically was not working because of a plug problem. We investigated the fault ourselves (at the risk of voiding the warranty) because we were on a voyage and couldn't afford the time to return it to service and wait for a repair. Finally disassembling the plug, we discovered that one of the power pins was loose. We tighten it and it works correctly. We do not advise anyone to do this if the device does not work. The correct thing is to return it under warranty. We tell what we did, without more. Raymarine should check the devices before sending them for sale. We have also brought these facts to the attention of Raymarine

9/10/2018 Variant: 15502

Only for day trips

This product suffers from crippling design flaws - it is not waterproof. A simple rain damaged mine, covered by the warranty. Raymarine replaced the electronic board. - it works with an old fluxgate which is slow and inefficient. We do much better today, and for much less, with electronic chips from smartphone electronics. Raymarine has not changed this product for decades. - the actuator control does not detect the mechanical stops. This means that the engine forces each time it comes to a stop, and this often happens when you use the tacking function or when you change the course of 90, for example. I just burned an engine this way. - the gears are plastic and undersized. They wear out over time. So I broke a set of gears while sailing upwind. We can add other faults the keys are not backlit, so at night you have to go groping to change the course. All the rigidity of the cylinder is based on the plastic shells which obviously have not been designed to withstand 57 kg of deformation force of the shells which causes the seal to open. In short, this driver is obsolete, the design flaws have never been corrected, the performance dates from another era. I just broke the third on a navigation of 600 nautical miles, in normal conditions wind less than 30 knots, without noticeable swell. For outings in protected water, for a period limited to the day, with a crew, why not. To navigate offshore, go your way. I sincerely believe that Raymarine is on purpose not to correct these issues so that users will upgrade. That's what I'm going to do, but certainly not with this branded "gadget".

Doesn't hold course

The device isn't capable of maintaining a course for extended periods. This is a real deal breaker for me. The cumbersome operation could be tolerated if it were able to travel in a straight line. It doesn't like waves from astern, but even in calm water, it often starts to zigzag after a short time, with increasingly wide deviations until it stops working. Other skippers have also reported these problems to me.

Since the basic functionality isn't there, every euro for the device is too much.

Reply from RAYMARINE

Hallo Torsten B.
Nach unseren Unterlagen haben Sie einen ST2000 vor über 3 Jahren bei uns gekauft. Da Sie sich nicht vorher gemeldet haben, gehe davon aus das der Pilot in den letzten Jahren einwandfrei gesteuert hat. Bitte kontrollierten Sie ob sich an Bord etwas verändert hat. Der Pilot ist mit einer Kompasssonde ausgestattet und wenn sich evt. Stahl (Werkzeug, Lautsprecher etc.) oder auch stärkere Gleichstromleitungen in der Nähe befinden, kann es zu Ablenkungen kommen und der Pilot läuft aus dem Ruder.

Maybe something for the Jolli with an attached rudder?

After an ST1000, which I was using in the third season, broke down on the second day of a planned 8-week single-handed trip (electronic failure and broken/bent piston guide), I immediately ordered the ST2000, which was sent to me by SVB in Karlskrona (it worked well, by the way). Now - towards the end of the season this device is already making terrible noises, so I will try to get Raymarin to take a look at it via SVB.
Overall, I have the impression that these devices are only suitable for very light boats in calm conditions. My boat weighs maybe 2400kg fully loaded (high estimate) and is therefore well within the recommended application range. I bought the much more expensive tiller pilot with external control, which I will install in the winter.
I hope that I have something reliable with it and that I can get the 2000ST back refurbished. 700 autopilot costs for one season would be way too much for me.
PS No, my rudder is not stiff

Tiller Pilot ST2000 Plus / displacement max. 4500 kg

Thanks Raymarine for ruining my vacation!!

In 10 years I have had to change 3.
It is used 15-20 days a year, carefully stored, made a support to keep it horizontal.
Last year, as a precaution since it was starting to have problems and I wanted to take my vacations calmly, I bought a new one.
Now, after a week, the compass no longer follows the route.
When I return I will send it back for warranty work, but the summer season will be over and I can imagine that, if all goes well, it will be returned to me after no less than a month (October?) when for me it will only be useful as an ornament.
And next year the warranty expired.
And, I repeat, it is the third!! At least the others had some warning and a week of agony and allowed me to return.
Very angry, never again Raymarine products!!!
I strongly advise against it!!!

Our answer

Caro/a Cliente, Grazie mille per il Suo feedback. Abbiamo inoltrato la Sua segnalazione a Raymarine e abbiamo ricevuto questa risposta.

Gentile cliente, la ringraziamo per la sua recensione. Per noi è difficile dare una motivazione sul malfunzionamento dell'autopilota sulla sua imbarcazione senza conoscere più dettagliatamente la situazione a bordo. Dovremmo conoscere il modello dell'imbarcazione, il peso dell'imbarcazione a pieno carico e pronta per una vacanza, come è stato montato l'autopilota (osservando gli angoli e le distanze come da manuale di installazione) e quali possibili interferenze magnetiche possono esserci nel pozzetto (es. altoparlanti).

Solitamente se un pilota a barra è ripetutamente difettoso dopo un breve periodo di utilizzo, la causa è solitamente una barca troppo pesante o un'installazione non corretta. Grandi deviazioni della bussola sono spesso causate da fonti magnetiche esterne nelle vicinanze dell'autopilota.

Manuel K. | Feb 17, 2023

Answer from manufacturer

Bernd G. | Feb 21, 2023

Hello, the ST2000+ is suppilied with the standard installation accessories. If you need other accessories like pushrod extension, tiller bracket and cantilever socket assy, you have to order them separatly.
