Raymarine ST1000 Plus Tiller Pilot – A12004

The Raymarine ST1000 Plus Tiller Pilot (Model A12004) is a self‑contained autopilot system designed specifically for tiller‑steered sailboats. It combines a robust linear drive, precision fluxgate compass, and an easy‑to‑read backlit LCD control panel into a single unit that mounts directly in the cockpit. Ideal for coastal cruising, this pilot takes the strain out of helming by automatically steering your boat to a set course, handling tacks with AutoTack, and maintaining track through irregular seas with AutoSeaState — all while conserving power and letting you focus on sail trim.

Whether used as a standalone unit or integrated with a SeaTalk/NMEA GPS, the ST1000 Plus offers reliable autopilot performance for boats up to ~6,600 lbs (≈3,000 kg) displacement.
