Raymarine - S1 Wheel Pilot - E12180

The S1 Wheel Pilot is the successor to the popular ST4000 Plus Wheel drive system. The new S1 system uses the versatile ST6002 control head combined with the S1 SmartPilot course computer for maximum performance. Permanently installed and fully enclosed, this is a drive system that delivers the convenience and performance of an inboard autopilot. Gone are the obstructive and untidy belts and wires of conventional wheel autopilots.

The S1 Wheel pilot system is a patented solution that gives you a wheel drive that you can engage or disengage at the kick of a lever.A rear-mounted plug enables the drive unit to be detached for service or security reasons, without disturbing the wiring harness.

The included rotary rudder reference transducer installs easily and provides the S1 course computer rudder angle information which optimizes the steering performance of the pilot.The ST6002 display also features a convenient rudder angle indicator, and rudder data is also available to other devices on the SeaTalk data network such as optional rudder angle displays, instrument repeaters and multifunction displays.
