Raymarine 5" Pushrod Extension f/Tiller Pilots Product Description
Enhance Your Tiller Pilot's Reach with the Raymarine Pushrod Extension
Navigating wider beams or larger cockpits on your sailboat? The Raymarine 5-inch pushrod extension bridges the gap, ensuring your ST1000 or ST2000 tiller autopilot maintains precise control without compromise. Crafted for the demanding marine world, this accessory extends the drive unit's pushrod, adapting seamlessly to boats where the standard length falls short. Boaters often discover its value during upgrades or when scaling up from smaller vessels, keeping hands-free steering reliable across varying conditions.
Perfect Fit for Raymarine Tiller Autopilots
Designed exclusively for Raymarine's ST1000 and ST2000 series tiller pilots, this extension slots in without modifications. It supports boats with beams that demand extra reach, typically from 20 to 35 feet, depending on your setup. The rugged construction mirrors Raymarine's hallmark durability—think corrosion-resistant materials that shrug off saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant flexing.
Key Advantages for Everyday Boaters
- Extended Coverage: Tackle wider transoms effortlessly, preventing binding or sloppy response.
- Superior Control: Maintains autopilot torque and responsiveness, ideal for coastal cruising or longer passages.
- Quick Setup: Bolts on in minutes, no special tools required, getting you back on the water fast.
- Long-Term Reliability: Built to endure years of vibration and weather, minimizing downtime.
- Peace of Mind: Backed by Raymarine's commitment to quality, aligning with their 2-year limited warranty.
Simple Installation: Step-by-Step for Confident DIY
Installing the 5-inch pushrod extension is straightforward, even for those new to marine tweaks. Here's how to do it right:
- Power down and disconnect your tiller pilot.
- Remove the existing pushrod from the drive unit and tiller arm—usually just a clevis pin pull.
- Attach the extension to the drive unit end, securing with the provided hardware.
- Connect the free end to your tiller, ensuring alignment for smooth travel.
- Reconnect power, calibrate the autopilot, and test in calm waters.
Pro tip: Check tiller pivot points for play before install to optimize performance. Most skippers complete this in under 30 minutes dockside.
Real-World Applications and Care Tips
From weekend racers tweaking for regattas to liveaboard sailors expanding horizons, this extension shines on mid-sized sloops and catamarans. It prevents overextension strain on the drive unit, preserving motor life during autopilot-heavy trips like island-hopping in the Caribbean or Great Lakes crossings.
Maintenance for Peak Performance
- Rinse with fresh water after every saltwater outing.
- Inspect pins and joints seasonally for wear.
- Lubricate pivot points with marine-grade grease.
- Avoid forcing during high winds—let the autopilot disengage safely.
These habits keep it functioning like new, extending the life of your entire tiller pilot system.
