The first piece of evidence that the ST4000 can be used in an upgrade came from Raymarine’s website documentation, which specifically says that the ST4000 will work with Raymarine’s new Evolution Autopilot system. The ST4000 bolts to the spokes on the ship’s wheel and is pretty much nothing more than big drive belt and a reversible 12vdc motor with a sprocket on its shaft. And no, there’s no whole-ship instrument replacement kit that I know of, but I’ll give you my thoughts on that below.Ĭoncerning the autopilot, the ST4000 was originally installed as the rudder drive module of an older Raymarine SmartPilot X5 Wheel system. Re progress on the autopilot question, yes, it appears that the Raymarine ST4000 Mk2 wheel-mounted rudder drive unit will indeed work with the Simrad/B&G NAC-2 and NAC-3 autopilot computers.
