Detailed description

The Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit is specifically designed for installing ST4000W MKII wheel-drive autopilots on a bulkhead or pedestal. This kit is a dedicated mounting solution, ensuring precise and secure mechanical integration of the autopilot control unit. It secures the motor tube, requiring a 55 mm (2 1/8 in) diameter hole for passage, and includes all components necessary for installation compliant with original specifications.

Technical installation details

Installation of the E15017 kit requires cutting a 55 mm (2 1/8 in) diameter hole for the motor tube. Special care must be taken to maintain a minimum clearance of 10 mm (0.4 in) around the motor behind the mounting surface to ensure adequate clearance. The kit includes a metal ring, a rubber gasket for sealing, a mounting bracket, and six #10 x 3/4 in self-tapping screws. The bracket position is determined by a 154 mm (6.1 in) distance between the wheel axis center and the bracket pin center. The motor tube must be mounted away from the boat’s compass to reduce magnetic deviation risks. Unlike modern systems such as Raymarine’s Evolution pilots, which use 9-axis sensors for more flexible installation, the ST4000W MKII—and thus this kit—integrates via a direct mechanical approach.

Compatibility and positioning

This kit is specifically for owners of Raymarine ST4000W MKII autopilots, an older but still functional product range. It is not a universal solution but an OEM part guaranteeing compatibility and performance for this exact model. For installations requiring different mounting options or for newer autopilots, other kits or accessories specific to those ranges (e.g., for EV-100 or EV-200 pilots) would be required. The E15017 represents a maintenance option for existing equipment, extending operational lifespan through proper mounting.

« ST4000W MKII autopilot integration: analysis of the Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit »

The Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit is a critical component for any installation or replacement of the ST4000W MKII wheel autopilot on a sailboat. Its purpose is to provide a stable mount and reliable watertight sealing for the motor tube of the unit—a key factor for the longevity and performance of the autopilot in a marine environment. Without this OEM kit, integrating the ST4000W MKII into a bulkhead or pedestal would be compromised, leading to risks of movement, excessive vibration, or even water ingress.

During installation, it is essential to respect the 55 mm drilling diameter and ensure a 10 mm clearance around the motor, as specified by Raymarine. A thorough check for obstructions behind the mounting surface is required before any cutting. The location relative to the compass is also critical: the motor tube must be positioned as far as possible to minimize magnetic interference and ensure heading accuracy. This kit is specifically designed for existing ST4000W MKII systems; it is not compatible with newer-generation autopilots like the Evolution series, which feature different—and often more compact—mounting mechanisms. Therefore, selecting this kit is dictated by the need to maintain or restore a proven autopilot system while ensuring installation complies with original standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

For which autopilot model is this bulkhead kit specifically designed?

This Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit is specifically designed for Raymarine ST4000W MKII wheel-drive autopilots. It is an original part ensuring compatibility and performance for this exact model.

Which components are included in the E15017 bulkhead kit?

The E15017 bulkhead kit includes the following items:

A metal ringA rubber gasket for sealingA mounting bracketSix #10 x 3/4 in self-tapping screws

What hole diameter is required for the motor tube to pass through during installation?

For motor tube installation, a 55 mm (2 1/8 in) diameter hole must be cut in the bulkhead or pedestal.

What is the minimum distance that must be maintained behind the mounting surface for the motor?

A clearance of at least 10 mm (0.4 in) must be maintained around the motor behind the mounting surface to ensure sufficient space.

How should the engine shaft be positioned relative to the boat's compass?

The engine shaft must be installed as far as possible from the boat's compass. This precaution is essential to reduce the risk of magnetic deviation.

In what order should the ring and the seal be assembled on the drive shaft?

The ring and seal assembly on the drive shaft is done in several steps:

First install the metal ring. Then install the rubber seal; it will automatically center itself on the shaft. When securing to the mounting surface, ensure the rubber seal is closest to the surface, with the metal ring on top.

Which fasteners are recommended for installing the kit on fiberglass surfaces?

For fiberglass surfaces, it may be necessary to replace the self-tapping screws provided with appropriate nuts, bolts, and washers for a more secure fastening.

What is the main function of the Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit?

The main function of the Raymarine E15017 bulkhead kit is to provide a dedicated and secure mounting solution for installing ST4000W MKII wheel-drive autopilots on a bulkhead or pedestal. It ensures precise mechanical attachment of the motor tube.
