Raymarine ST1000+ Tiller Pilot – 3,000 kg / 6,600 lb | AutoTack | SeaSway | RAY-A12004

Hands-Free Sailing for Lighter Boats — Tack, Trim, Relax

The Raymarine ST1000+ Tiller Pilot is a removable cockpit autopilot designed for tiller-steered sailboats up to 3,000 kg (6,600 lb). It’s the entry point into Raymarine’s tiller pilot range — delivering the same core AutoTack and SeaSway technology as the larger ST2000+, sized and priced for smaller cruising and racing sailboats.

AutoTack executes precise tacks at the push of a button while you handle the sheets — a genuine advantage for solo sailors and short-handed crews who need to manage both the helm and the sails through a tack. SeaSway continuously adapts to wave action, keeping the boat on course while using the minimum amount of power — important on smaller boats where battery capacity is more limited.

The clear LCD display and 6-button keypad are designed for cockpit use — readable in bright sunlight, operable with gloves on. It works as a stand-alone pilot using its internal compass, or connects to SeaTalk or NMEA GPS for course-over-ground steering and waypoint navigation. The removable design means it stows below when not in use, protecting it from UV and weather.

🔧 Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: The ST1000+ is the right choice for solo and short-handed sailors on smaller tiller-steered sailboats in the 25–35 ft range — day sailors, weekenders, and coastal cruisers where the 3,000 kg displacement rating is a good fit. It’s particularly well suited to club racers and performance cruisers who want AutoTack for short-handed racing or delivery passages, and to sailors who are new to autopilots and want a straightforward, proven system without the complexity or cost of a full evolution autopilot. The removable design is a practical advantage for boats kept on moorings or in marinas where security is a consideration.

Heads up: Confirm your boat’s displacement is under 3,000 kg before ordering — if you’re close to or over that limit, the ST2000+ (RAY-A12005) is the correct choice and worth the additional investment for reliable performance. For wheel-steered vessels or boats over 4,500 kg, step up to the EV-100 Cockpit Autopilot.
