Raymarine Autopilot Guide




What Raymarine Autopilot is right for me?
 
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. We have created a tool to help determine what type of autopilot is right for you. Click below to begin Raymarine's Autopilot System Builder.
Autohelm® Series Autopilots
 

 

From the invention of Autohelm® tiller pilot almost 30 years ago to today's SmartPilot X-Series, Raymarine autopilots lead the way in autopilot technology and innovation and set a new benchmark in autopilot performance and reliability

The right Tiller pilot, correctly installed, will give you years of dependable service and will quickly become a valued member of the crew. Start by selecting the correct pilot for your needs.

Remember, always use fully laden displacement which is often 20% above the designed displacement, and don’t be tempted to choose a pilot which is always working at the limits of its designed capabilities. If you choose your pilot with safety in mind, then it won’t struggle when the going gets tough.
 
Invented by Autohelm in 1973, tiller pilots have consistently been the world’s most popular pilot ever since, setting the standard for performance, reliability and ease of use. Advanced features are standard. AutoTack lets you handle the sheets, while the pilot tacks the boat and AutoSeastate intelligently keeps the boat on course while conserving power. Whether used as a stand-alone pilot or with a SeaTalk/NMEA GPS, the clear backlit LCD and 6-button keypad make these pilots safe and easy to use.
