Raymarine 2" Pedestal Socket f/Tiller Pilots Product Description
Enhance your sailing setup with the Raymarine 2" Pedestal Socket, designed specifically for tiller pilots.

Boaters trust it for its straightforward integration with Raymarine autopilot systems, delivering reliable hands-free steering even in choppy waters.

Why This Pedestal Socket Elevates Your Autopilot Experience
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.
Real-World Applications for Everyday Boaters
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What boats is the Raymarine 2" Pedestal Socket compatible with?
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.
How does this socket improve tiller pilot mounting?
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.
Is installation difficult for beginners?
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.
Can it handle rough sea conditions?
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.
Does it work with non-Raymarine tiller pilots?
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.
What maintenance does the pedestal socket require?
Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect fasteners seasonally. Its corrosion-resistant design means minimal upkeep for years of service.
