This ram end cap replaces Raymarine or Autohelm G004.

This part is common to ST1000, ST2000, ST4000 and EV100 Tiller pilots.

The OEM part is basically cylindrical with a small index line to assist fitting it to the tiller pin.  It is thus necessary to search carefully for the mark, while taking your eye off the important task of helming!  I find this particularly disadvantageous when racing or shorthanded in difficult conditions or at night.

With this design the square base ensures that it lies in the correct orientation even while disengaged.  The tactile flanged upper face enables the helmsman to install the pilot just by touch.

I have printed copies in both PETG and Prusament PETG CF (carbon filled).  Print it with the thread pointing upward and only support in the pin-hole.

This component has now been tested at sea,  accumulating over 200-hours in operation. It is still in good condition and will remain in use.

I'd be very interested if any fellow sailors have made this component and please give feedback?
