Raymarine 4" Pushrod Extensio

The Raymarine 4" Pushrod Extension is a straightforward but essential accessory for anglers and boaters running Raymarine tiller autopilot drive systems on larger vessels. If you've ever reached the limits of your autopilot's reach—where the actuator can't quite extend far enough to properly engage your tiller—this extension solves that problem instantly. Built for boats with wider beam dimensions, this pushrod extension allows you to maintain full autopilot functionality without costly system replacements or workarounds.

The 4-inch extension works by lengthening the mechanical linkage between your autopilot drive unit and the tiller arm, accommodating increased distances that larger boat beams demand. At just 1 pound, it adds negligible weight while delivering robust, direct mechanical transfer—no hydraulics, no electronics to fail. This passive rod extension maintains the same reliable push-pull action your Raymarine system was designed for, ensuring smooth, responsive steering whether you're running a trawler, sportfish boat, or cruiser.

Installation is straightforward: the extension couples directly into your existing Raymarine tiller autopilot drive linkage without modifications to the helm system. If your autopilot engages inconsistently or doesn't track properly due to tiller reach limitations, this extension restores full authority. Boaters with cored hulls, wide center consoles, or auxiliary steering positions will find this particularly valuable for equalizing actuator stroke across the available travel range.
