Enhance Your Tiller Pilot Setup with Precision Mounting

Navigating challenging waters demands equipment that adapts seamlessly to your boat's unique setup. The Raymarine 1-inch tiller bracket steps in as a game-changer for owners of tiller-steered vessels equipped with ST1000 or ST2000 autopilot systems. This compact accessory bridges height differences between your boat's tiller and the fixed drive end of the tiller pilot, enabling a level, horizontal mount that optimizes performance and control.

Whether you're cruising coastal waters or tackling offshore passages, this bracket ensures your autopilot engages smoothly without awkward angles or strain. It's crafted from durable marine-grade materials to withstand saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and the relentless motion of the sea, keeping your steering system reliable trip after trip.

Why Boaters Trust This Tiller Bracket for Reliable Autopilot Operation

• Perfect Alignment: Compensates for tiller height variations up to 1 inch, promoting even force distribution and reducing wear on your tiller pilot's drive unit.
• Effortless Integration: Designed specifically for Raymarine ST1000 and ST2000 series, it installs in minutes using standard tools—no custom fabrication needed.
• Battle-Tested Durability: Engineered with rugged construction that mirrors Raymarine's reputation for gear that endures harsh marine conditions, from pounding waves to extreme temperatures.
• Performance Boost: Maintains the autopilot's responsiveness, allowing precise course-holding even in choppy seas or strong winds.
• Space-Saving Design: Low-profile profile keeps your cockpit clutter-free while maximizing steering efficiency.

Real-World Applications for Everyday and Extended Voyages

Sailors often face tiller height mismatches on older boats or those with custom cockpits. This bracket shines in these scenarios: retrofitting autopilots on classic dinghies, optimizing setups on trailerable sailboats, or fine-tuning high-performance racers. Imagine single-handing a long coastal hop—your tiller pilot holds steady, freeing you to trim sails or scan horizons without constant helm tweaks.

Pro tip: Pair it with routine maintenance checks on your autopilot's ram and feedback linkages for peak longevity. Boaters report fewer mechanical hiccups and smoother autopilot engagement after installation, translating to more enjoyable time on the water.

Seamless Installation Guide for Quick Setup

Getting this bracket operational is straightforward, even for weekend warriors. Secure it to the tiller pilot's mounting point with provided hardware, then align and clamp to your tiller. Test the full range of motion before heading out—adjust if needed for zero binding. Most users complete the job cockpit-side in under 30 minutes, with no drilling or permanent mods required.

For best results, inspect your tiller for smoothness and apply marine grease to pivot points during install. This simple step minimizes friction and extends service life.
