ST1000 Plus watertight pilot

Originally produced by the English company Nautech in 1973 under the name Autohelm. The Autohelm brand was later acquired by Raytheon, becoming Raymarine, which to this day produces more modern descendants of the original 1973 device. The ST1000 / ST2000 series Tiller Pilot has been one of the world's most popular autopilots, offering unparalleled reliability, performance, and ease of use. The ST1000 Plus tiller pilots are designed for sailboats weighing up to 3000 kg. The most popular does not necessarily mean the best; this product should be taken as it is.
