Tillerpilot ST1000+ - What's not included?

[drude]

Thinking of taking the plunge and buying a Tillerpilot ST1000+ I assume I also need to buy the bracket for the tiller separately. Do I need anything else to complete installation? 12v wiring?

I’m pretty sure the kit comes with a brass flush mount ‘cup’ to be installed on coaming and a ball-topped pin to install on top of tiller. If you want to mount pin below tiller then yes, you will need the bracket which is not included. Very easy part to fabricate yourself to be honest, just a bit of flat bar with a couple of bends.

Depending on dimensions, you may also need an extension to the tiller arm.

The basic mounting socket, tiller pin and electrical socket are supplied.

See the installation instructions in the Owners Handbook for all the alternative mountings, tiller connections and extensions ( page 29 et seq. )

Thanks everyone - the manual certainly helps. I'll do some measurements at the weekend.

Very much depends on the exact configuration of your boat, imho.
I suspect you'll probably need to offer the unit up for sizing and go ahead from there?

Electrically, just needs a simple 2 core supply, unless you want to network it to plotter/gps or similar.

Fwiw I just upgraded my st1000 to a st2000 and can confirm (without sea trials, so far) that these un8ts are physically interchangeable.

If installing a new power cable might be worth considering installing 5 core to enable Nema (+/-) and Seatalk connections should they be wanted in the future. The Seatalk connection is also used to connect Nauti Control wireless remote controller.
Also worth getting a weather resistant cover to keep the worst to the wet stuff from hitting the casing, which hasn't got a great reputation for keeping the works inside dry.

It already comes with a 5 core cable and the standard 6-pin plug and socket for power, NMEA connections, remote connection

Yes, agreed. I was thinking more about the user supplied cable from the back of the socket to the boat's power supply/instrument interface location rather than from the socket to the ST1000+.
