6-pin cockpit female pilot socket - ST1000+ and ST2000+

The Raymarine D338 cockpit pilot female socket is an essential component that serves as an electrical and data connection interface for ST1000+ and ST2000+ tiller autopilots. It provides power to the autopilot and transmits navigation data.

This connector is specifically designed to be compatible with Raymarine ST1000+ and ST2000+ tillerpilot autopilots.

This connector provides the necessary electrical connection to power the ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots. It allows the autopilot to receive a 10 V to 15 V DC power supply from the boat's 12 V electrical system.

The Raymarine D338 cockpit pilot female socket is a 6-pin socket.

This port enables the transmission of navigation data via SeaTalk and NMEA 0183/0180 networks. It ensures communication between the autopilot and other compatible Raymarine instruments or chartplotters.

The ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots, for which this connector is designed, are typically intended for owner installation. The connector is a key component of this installation, enabling connection to the boat's electrical system and data networks.

Yes, the D338 connector is an original Raymarine component, designed specifically for the ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots.

No, this plug is specifically designed for the ST1000+ and ST2000+ tillerpilot autopilots. It is not compatible with Raymarine’s newer autopilot systems, such as the Evolution range, which use different connection interfaces.

This port enables the transmission of various essential navigation data for autopilot operation, including:

Wind data (for WindTrim mode)HeadingGPS dataThese are exchanged via SeaTalk or NMEA networks.

Without this connector, the autopilot cannot be powered and cannot communicate with other navigation instruments or the boat's electrical system. It is therefore essential for the autopilot to function and receive the data required for its operation.

Yes, thanks to the SeaTalk compatibility of this port and ST1000+/ST2000+ pilots, it is possible to easily connect additional fixed or portable autopilot control units at secondary helm or control positions.

The ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots require a power supply between 10 V and 15 V DC, provided via this connector from the boat's 12 V electrical system.

The ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots, for which this connector is a key component, are designed for tiller sailboats intended for coastal navigation. They are not suited for offshore passages.

Yes, the ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots can be used with any chartplotter transmitting NMEA 0183 or NMEA 0180 data. The D338 port, as an interface, enables this connectivity.

The autopilot cockpit female socket is usually installed in the cockpit, at a single attachment point on the boat's structure, between the tiller and the autopilot. This allows for easy and quick connection of the autopilot.

The D338 connector can serve both as a spare part to maintain the functionality of existing ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilot systems, and as a component for new installations of these autopilots.

No, this connector is specifically designed for ST1000+ and ST2000+ tiller autopilots. It is not compatible with autopilots for wheel steering systems.

No, the Raymarine D338 female connector is the interface component itself. The cables required for power supply or data networks (SeaTalk, NMEA) are not included with the connector and must be purchased separately or are already present in the boat's installation.

The D338 product is the 6-pin female cockpit pilot socket itself. It is the component that provides the connection interface for ST1000+ and ST2000+ autopilots.

The plug itself does not require any specific adjustments. However, after installing the autopilot and its connections (including this plug), calibration steps are required for the autopilot, such as compass calibration, to optimize its performance on the boat.
