Ive had the st2000 for my sailboat for 4 years, have always wanted the remote but they charge more then the autotiller itself for the remote and hub. This is great, I just ordered my remotes, thanks for sharing.

Great video, helps a lot, thanks! Will do this to my Kicker motor, same engine.

So interesting. You have always been amazing at taking things apart and figuring out how to make them work the way you want! 😊

open-boat-projects has a DIY remote control for Seatalk autopilot It uses communication with the autopilot ove seatalk, this way you wont warrenty or possibly destroy your autopilot, tho its a more complex project.. And check which autopilot models support seatalk steering commands. Cheers..

Super cool

Can you share a wiring diagram for a someone with no knowledge of electronics? Something that says plug this cable here, solder this cable there, etc. ? Thanks in advance.

Hi. What position did you have the short circuit bridge on. 1,2 or 2,3 or off completely? Have done the wiring but can't quite get it to work

I was able to wire the remote without soldering. I'll tell you how if you want to know.

I would like to know how you did that please😊

thats awesome! i wonder if it could keep up with a boat that goes say 40mph with a 40hp. might want to snip the wires for the giant 10 degree course corrections in that case :)

Haha that would be fun to try.

I’m working on this project now. Curious if there is any reason you didn’t pull power from the motor next to where you placed the board?? From what I see doing this would mean only running 6 wires to the front of the device, making things a tad easier to fit.

Hmmm I assumed there wasn’t constant power at the motor, it’s just the switched motor power. Did I miss something? That would be ideal if you could run only 6 wires.

@@bailey2829man you are fast! lol I just came back to delete this comment because I just discovered exactly that. There is not constant power so it will not work.

Are you aware you can buy a remote from Madman Marine which doesn't require dismantling the AP. Cost is like $200 Australian

I wasn’t aware of that. Sounds like another good option.
