SVB like the ST 2000 cane pilot
With SVB I had very good results, I bought this pilot from the Canary Islands and today I received it, it took longer but there were problems with the carrier, which I will talk about later.
The communication with SVB while they were trying to resolve the misunderstanding was very fluid and they never took long to respond either by email or by phone.
The price of the product is very good, although you have to take into account taxes, procedures and shipping, of course. I already had another pilot like this so the installation didn't cost anything, in fact I plugged it in and it worked fine.
The problem was DHL, which here has a subcontract with DHL Parcel, and there was no good communication with them... perhaps it could be improved here... in short, happy with the purchase, but from the Canary Islands I will not buy again, here are very special people...

Good and reliable device.
I use it all the time when sailing in a (steady) moderate wind and when driving with a motor. ME even better if there was a slight snap lock on the tiller (top pin), like the Simrad tp 30.

Tiller Pilot ST 2000
The PP seems more stable than Simrad's competitor, especially when it comes to the drivetrain. How long the beasts last depends on usage and build quality. And of course from the service, in case something goes wrong. A product is always as good as the service!

replacement of an autohelm 1000
Can not give an opinion without having seriously tested the driver. I can do it after a long test at sea under various gaits and weather conditions. This driver replaces an old 1000 autohelm that had operating weaknesses. Ask me for an opinion at the end of summer. Only the price can be evaluated for the moment, I reserve my opinion on the other two questions, putting the average to be able to send this comment.

In 2004 I bought a Raymarine ST1000 and I used it, with great satisfaction, up to two months ago when it broke down in such a way as to make the repair not convenient. I bought the same model at the SVB because it is sold at a price of around 100 euros less than what is required by other sellers. I ordered the instrument on Monday morning and received it on Friday afternoon.

Alas, I can not evaluate my product, because I have not yet had the opportunity to try it. For the rest, regarding the price, obviously, it is always too expensive As for the product itself, I know its reputation, it 's even what made me buy it. For the service, as usual, impeccable! Best regards.

PROBLEM WITH BROKEN PART IN THE PACKAGE
I received this product with the rotating part (floating nut) of the 6-pin plug broken in three pieces, I want the photo I took at the reception, the package did not bear any trace of shock this non-vital piece can be changed by myself. I will call the commercial service tomorrow in France. A priori this piece was broken before packing. I hope at least receive a new take, otherwise I will adapt a catch with two commercial studs. At which email address can I send the photo of the broken part? or possibly send you the broken part? Thank you Concerning this pilot ST2000, it replaces the one which I had for 12 years and which worked correctly (about 300 hours a year). It broke down last autumn and considering his age I preferred to orient myself towards a new identical model. I intend to repair the old one to have a rescue pilot. note: fast delivery time and consistent with the telephone contact. Sincerely, Jean Pierre RAYMONDI 02 40 15 43 30

The tiller pilot ST 2000 Plus is completely sufficient for the use as I use the device. Since I am predominantly alone sailing the tiller pilot is not to think away when setting the sails and under the engine during doldrums. Even if I have to go below deck, I can rely on it to stay on course. Here, however, I take a ride out of the ship, so that in gusts of wind not too strong pressure on the system mechanics is exercised. Alone under sail and only at the starter battery, I would not let run the self-steering systems, because I can not estimate the power consumption yet. At least not for hours. The instructions are good, you just have to read and familiarize yourself. Important!! The tiller pilot has to be adjusted !!! 1. On which side is the system mounted? Bb.- or Stb.-side the device needs the info otherwise it will not work. 2. By default, the sensitivity is set to 4. I reduced this value to 3 to have less power consumption. But everyone has to adjust and try it out for themselves. All in all, a practical thing that helps to assist and ease the individual sailing maneuvers.
