2 S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide
This guide
Before starting to install your S1000 Autopilot, please take time to read this guide. In particular, please take note of the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information at the
end of this guide.
WARNING:
This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the
Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to observe this could
result in personal injury, damage to the boat and/or poor product
performance.
The installation procedures are described in a rational sequence, but because of variations in
boat design, space available etc, you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your particular
circumstances.
Before you start fitting your S1000 Autopilot, we recommend you:
• Unpack your S1000 Autopilot and check that all parts are present.
• Plan your S1000 Autopilot installation so that you fit the components in the best possible
locations.
Important note
The S1000 Autopilot must receive position information from a suitable GPS in
order to function correctly. GPS systems compatible with SeaTalk or NMEA or
both, are suitable. If you need advice as to which GPS to use, please contact
your Raymarine dealer.

Planning
In order to make the installation as trouble free as possible, we strongly recommend you
spend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components. This is
particularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump, as hydraulic
hoses are supplied in fixed lengths, so there are some limitations on the positioning of the
autopilot pump with respect to the boat’s helm pump.
If you have internet access, please view the installation video on line at www.raymarine.com.
Before you disturb your hydraulic steering system, we strongly recommend that you consult
the manufacturer and read the steering system manuals.

Using the hydraulic hoses
Three, pre-assembled hydraulic hoses are supplied. Two of these are dark-colored, high
pressure steering hoses and the third is a transparent low-pressure hose.
The transparent hose is intended to help you check for air bubbles when bleeding the
system and must be used only to connect the autopilot pump reservoir to the lower
connector on the helm pump. It must NOT be used anywhere else in the system.

Sealing hydraulic joints
CAUTION:
Do not use sealing tape on any part of a hydraulic system, as this can
disintegrate and the resulting particles can cause blockages in the
hydraulic system.
Tapered thread
Thread for hose
connection
Note: The hydraulic fittings supplied with the autopilot pump have sealant preapplied to the tapered threads. You only need to apply sealant to any extra joints
you may obtain. The recommended sealant for doing this, is Loctite 542.
Do not apply sealant to
hose connection thread.
Installing tapered thread fittings
Hand tighten
1.
3.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 13 ft/lbs (17.6 Nm) torque.
DO NOT EXCEED 2.5 TURNS in total, from
hand tight.
2.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 13 ft/lbs
(17.6 Nm) torque.
1.5 turns
From hand tight, use a wrench to tighten the joint a
further 1.5 turns. This should make it leakproof.
D7545-1
To change the orientation of the joint to align it with the
hose, further tighten the joint, to a maximum of one
further turn, until the joint is facing the required
direction.

personal injury. Before disconnecting any part of a hydraulic
steering system, safely release any pressure in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING:
The autopilot pump is not suitable for use in the vicinity of
engines, fuel tanks or in any other area where fuel vapor is likely
to be present.
CAUTION:
Do not use the transparent hose for connecting any part of the
steering system other than between the autopilot pump reservoir
and the lower connector on the helm pump.
1. 2.
Secure the required hydraulic joints
(elbow or straight) into the autopilot
pump, as described under
tapered thread fittings.
