Raymarine’s Follow-On Tiller controller brings power steering to remote and secondary control stations anywhere onboard. The Follow-On Tiller is a simple add-on control unit for Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems and is designed for power cruising yachts or commercial vessels. With a single button press, the tiller activates Evolution’s Power Steer mode, enabling captains to send precise steering angle commands to the rudder up to 35°.
Follow On Tiller controllers are available in 2 different models with slightly different modes of operation.
The controller supports both Follow-Up and Non-Follow up modes for maximum flexibility. The controller comes pre-fitted with a return spring to bring the controller back to the 0° center position automatically upon release. The return spring can be removed if desired.
In Follow-Up-Mode the rudder follows the tiller precisely. When the tiller is released or set to 0° the rudder is set to amidships. In Non-Follow-Up mode, the rudder remains at the angle set when the controller is released or set to 0° and requires the operator to manually correct to amidships.
Choose between Standby-Power Steer-Standby operation, or Auto-Power Steer-Auto operation.
