AUTOHELM 2000 TILLER PILOT HOW TO
AUTOHELM 2000 TILLER PILOT UPDATE

Looking into picking one up for cruising and deliveries(olson 30), will be paying attention to this thread. None of these are integrated with my instrumentation network. At some point I expect to go all-Pelagic.ДЄs a backup, I have a Simrad TP20. I'm going to rethink the whole mount eventually.Д«ut Brian is a really good guy, very helpful. Also, with my mounting bracket the electrical cord has to come out the top I'd prefer it to be on the bottom. I'm still not totally happy with the mount: the ram is not perfectly horizontal, and there's a lot of play in the clevis. And it didn't drop right in to replace the RM ram Brian the designer fabricated a modified clevis for me. It's actually not all stainless as someone stated: plenty of aluminum in the housing. I will say that the ram has never failed - a common complaint with RM pilots.Д«ut I'm now running a Pelagic ram with the Raymarine controller. It took a lot of tinkering with settings to get it to work reasonably well, but it's still not quite as good with the spinnaker up as when I first got it. I sent the computer back to Raymarine and they fixed something free of charge and updated the software. It worked great on the SHTP in 2010, but a couple of years later it got stupid. I've had a Raymarine X5 for about 8 years. Now with a long singlehanded race, I wanted to have two independent systems (two computers, two rams, two sockets, etc.) Had I started with that in mind I might not have chosen the B&G instruments. Then added the Pelagic, which created no issues. I started with Triton instruments with no thought to an autopilot. That's part of why I went with the EV1 - no sensor needed for the tiller pilot model Ask me again in 2 weeks if there is a meaningful difference. That said, I haven't compared the performance of the two computers. Looking back, a big advantage of the Pelagic, not needing the rudder angle sensor. It will only be onboard for the long short-handed races. I've added a rudder angle sensor in the cockpit.

Just curious how yours is set up.ДЄs an aside, I do like my EV-1 pilot but I don't like that I can't update it without a raymarine mfd.

For your B&G computer, how do you handle the rudder angle sensor? I talked to B&G about whether their pilot would drive the EV-1 tiller ram, and they thought it would but weren't sure about how to detect the angle. Roleur, you said you use it with the B&G computer as well as with the Pelagic Computer.
