Wireless Autopilot on the Cheap - Raymarine ST2000+

- Did you know you can steer your outboard with a sailboat autopilot??? For some reason these are only marketed by Raymarine as a sailboat tiller autopilot, but they work great for kicker motors too. I bought the ST2000+ model, but I realized in hindsight that I probably could have gotten away with the ST1000+ since I just use this boat on lakes with calm water.
Thanks to George Dobranszky for the great guide on how to set up the remote. Link below to his video.

Here's a link to the remote controller that I used:

Ive had the st2000 for my sailboat for 4 years, have always wanted the remote but they charge more then the autotiller itself for the remote and hub. This is great, I just ordered my remotes, thanks for sharing.
Great video, helps a lot, thanks! Will do this to my Kicker motor, same engine.
So interesting. You have always been amazing at taking things apart and figuring out how to make them work the way you want! 😊
open-boat-projects has a DIY remote control for Seatalk autopilot
It uses communication with the autopilot ove seatalk, this way you wont warrenty or possibly destroy your autopilot, tho its a more complex project.. And check which autopilot models support seatalk steering commands.
Cheers..
Super cool
Can you share a wiring diagram for a someone with no knowledge of electronics? Something that says plug this cable here, solder this cable there, etc. ? Thanks in advance.
Hi. What position did you have the short circuit bridge on. 1,2 or 2,3 or off completely? Have done the wiring but can't quite get it to work
thats awesome! i wonder if it could keep up with a boat that goes say 40mph with a 40hp. might want to snip the wires for the giant 10 degree course corrections in that case :)
Haha that would be fun to try.
I’m working on this project now. Curious if there is any reason you didn’t pull power from the motor next to where you placed the board??
From what I see doing this would mean only running 6 wires to the front of the device, making things a tad easier to fit.
Hmmm I assumed there wasn’t constant power at the motor, it’s just the switched motor power. Did I miss something? That would be ideal if you could run only 6 wires.
@@bailey2829man you are fast! lol I just came back to delete this comment because I just discovered exactly that. There is not constant power so it will not work.
I was able to wire the remote without soldering. I'll tell you how if you want to know.
I would like to know how you did that please😊
Are you here in Central Oregon?
@@billkirzy7109 close! I live in Seattle but this was at Banks Lake in eastern WA
@bailey2829 looks a lot like Billy Chinook here in Central Oregon. Thanks for the video. I'm a sailor and have been using auto pilot for years but love the idea of remote. Trying to see the clip but I'm youtube challenged. Where's the diagram on wiring the set up.?

Are you aware you can buy a remote from Madman Marine which doesn't require dismantling the AP. Cost is like $200 Australian
I wasn’t aware of that. Sounds like another good option.
