Enhance your sailing setup with the Raymarine 2" Pedestal Socket, designed specifically for tiller pilots. This essential accessory allows for secure horizontal mounting when the fixed end of your tiller pilot sits lower than the tiller arm, ensuring stable autopilot performance on smaller vessels like dinghies, daysailers, and trailerable sailboats. Boaters trust it for its straightforward integration with Raymarine autopilot systems, delivering reliable hands-free steering even in choppy waters.
Crafted for seamless compatibility with Raymarine boat autopilot tillers, this 2-inch pedestal socket raises the fixed mounting point to align perfectly with your tiller arm. No more awkward angles or compromised control—simply achieve a level, horizontal installation that optimizes the pilot's drive unit positioning. Ideal for sailors who prioritize precision and ease during extended cruises or competitive racing.
Struggling with tiller pilot misalignment? This socket solves common mounting challenges on boats where transom space or geometry limits standard setups. It promotes smoother autopilot response, reduces wear on the drive unit, and enhances overall steering efficiency. Sailors report fewer adjustments needed underway, freeing you to focus on navigation, sail trim, and enjoying the journey. Pair it with your existing Raymarine tiller pilot for a cohesive system that's as tough as it is intuitive.
Whether you're single-handing a weekend sail, teaching new crew on a family outing, or pushing limits in regattas, this pedestal socket delivers consistent performance. It's particularly valuable on lightweight boats where every ounce and inch matters, preventing vibrations that could disrupt autopilot accuracy in following seas or gusty winds.
It's designed for Raymarine tiller pilots on sailboats with tiller steering, such as small keelboats, catamarans, and dinghies up to around 35 feet, where the fixed pilot end needs elevation for horizontal alignment.
It raises the pedestal by 2 inches, allowing horizontal positioning when the mounting point is lower than the tiller arm, which prevents binding, improves leverage, and enhances autopilot efficiency.
No—it's a simple bolt-on process using standard marine hardware. Most users complete it in under 30 minutes with basic tools like a drill and wrench.
Absolutely. Raymarine builds it to endure extreme marine environments, including heavy spray, shocks from waves, and temperature swings, matching the durability of their full autopilot lineup.
While optimized for Raymarine models, it may fit others with matching 2-inch pedestal bases—check your pilot's specs for compatibility to ensure secure mounting.
