RE;I use a Ray marine ST 2000 tiller pilot, I tend to use it rather than being stuck to the tiller, I balance the sails as best as I can to keep power usage down.

Tillerpilots are great when motoring , but to save on tillerpilot power usage you can you can use a wind vane (expensive) or sheet to tiller steering.
It takes a bit of fiddling , but proven.

There are much better videos than this one on sheet to tiller. This chap has the jib sheet pulling the wrong side of the tiller.
