This comprehensive Owner's Handbook details the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Raymarine S1000+ and S2000+ Tiller Pilots, designed for tiller-steered sailboats.
These self-contained autopilots integrate seamlessly with a boat's 12V electrical system, offering advanced features for enhanced sailing experiences.
Key Features and Operating Modes
The Raymarine Tiller Pilots provide versatile control through four primary operating modes:
- Standby Mode: Autopilot is disengaged.
- Auto Mode: Engages the autopilot to maintain a locked heading.
- Track Mode: Enables the autopilot to follow a programmed track between waypoints, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.
- WindTrim Mode: Allows the autopilot to maintain a course relative to an apparent wind angle, facilitating wind vane steering.
Enhanced functionality is achieved through SeaTalk and NMEA compatibility, enabling data sharing with other marine electronics for navigation and wind information.
Installation and Support
The handbook includes detailed installation instructions, covering component placement, cabling, and the use of various accessories. It also provides guidance on initial sea trials, compass calibration, and performance adjustments. For troubleshooting, Raymarine offers product support through a global network.
