This part will fit ST1000, ST2000, ST4000 and EV100 Tiller pilots

The OEM ram end cap G004 is basically cylindrical with a small index line to assist fitting it to the tiller pin.  With the standard part, it is 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.

This part slips over the existing ram cap.  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.

It is sufficiently tight on the cap to remain in place.  When in operation the tiller pin ensures the cap is secure.  The tiller drive load remains entirely on the OEM cap.

I also have a full replacement design which screws to the autopilot, replacing the OEM part. https://www.printables.com/model/1230891-raymarine-tiller-pilot-thrust-cap-g004-replacement  Now tested at sea for a full season.
