My Raymarine ST2000+ tiller pilot has let water in around the buttons and I have had to pay to have a new circuit board fitted, and the buttons re-seated, two months after the warranty expired. Raymarine said that there was no manufacturing defect and no design problem so my obvious conclusion is that the product is not designed to be very waterproof and it can happen again (They knocked a third off the bill as a good-will gesture when I complained). Therefore my question is: has anyone got an idea of how to add additional waterproofing to the tiller pilot? My solution would be a giant transparent condom that envelopes the entire tiller pilot, baggy at the pushrod so as not to restrict it and a nice roll-fit along the body, but no-one appears to make one that big! Any ideas?
