vic008 17 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Looking at a couple of cheaper options, but see no mention of a 'receiver' at the tillerpilot end. Surely some mod needs doing at that end.(dont have a Raymarine smart box thing) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Navico had a remote (cable fed) some years ago, but they seem to be as rare as rocking horse sh*t! I have been keeping my eyes open but still have to find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazyhorse 47 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If it has N2K there are options. A MFD should control it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 There was a guy in Aussie doing an aftermarket infrared remote. Can't remember his name sorry but will look it up when back in the country at the end of Jan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vic008 17 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Madman is the name. But see no mention of any mod to the tiller pilot. Raymarine. Do I need the 'seatalk'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 That's the guy. You wire in a receiver to the panel. U am about to finally get around to wiring mine in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norwegian Blue 10 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Madman is the name. But see no mention of any mod to the tiller pilot. Raymarine. Do I need the 'seatalk'? I have one of his remote systems & it works great. It does use SeaTalk (yellow data wire). There is no mod required to the tillerpilot. https://www.madmanmarine.com/product-page/ap-wrc3if-autopilot-remote-control Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vic008 17 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thank you Blue, that was the question I was hoping for an answer. So I need Seatalk. What would be the bare minimum seatalk for me? And rough price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What would be the bare minimum seatalk for me? And rough price? Just your tiller pilot, it speaks Seatalk. Join that to the remote box and they will chat happily together. They are still demented and will try and kill you when you are on the foredeck though, or run you aground off Motuihe (not that I talk from experience) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
