Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Doug — sorry for the delay; it’s haulout weekend. Yes, on any Raymarine autopilot systems older than the current EVO systems, you really need to have the rudder reference transducer installed and calibrated to get decent performance out of the system. You should have gotten a transducer along

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Bill — the older ST4000 wheelpilot does not use a rudder reference transducer; but the newer ST4000+ does. It should have shipped with one. They are available as a standalone part, for about $250 plus shipping. As I mentioned before, I have a spare here somewhere; if anyone is interested,

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Typically the tiller pilots never had them; if you think about it, if you have tiller steering, you don’t have a quadrant to attach the transducer to. And the older wheelpilots just used a fluxgate compass to steer to. But the results weren’t always as good as they could be, so the ST4000+

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

Without the rudder position indicator the auto pilot is flying blind. It does not have a key component that allows them to do their job well. David F. Risch 1981 40-2 (401) 419-4650 (cell) Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2015 19:33:10 -0700 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Autopilot

Re: Stus-List Autopilot Recommendations

I had to get auto pilot because my cat refuses to take the helm. So I got the Raymarine X10 with linear drive and a St70 control head. Thinking I should add a rudder transducer... am thinking this will lessen the constant adjustments from the pilot. What is your opinion Fred?

Edd, You are a lucky guy! Do you have any photos showing how your existing Octopus cylinder is mounted? I have all Raymarine equipment and the EV-200 looks pretty neat. It seems like many of us that own 37+’s are either upgrading or looking at installing autopilots. Thanks,

Cruising World has a article summarizing different autopilot manufacturers in the Oct issue. Not a lot of detail, but another source of input. I installed Raymarine SPX-30 in ’08 and it died on me this summer. I’ll replace with Garmin over the winter. Next summer I’ll be able to give a
