Raymarine 5" Pushrod Extensio

The Raymarine 5" Pushrod Extension is a precision mechanical solution for boaters operating larger vessels where standard tiller autopilot linkages fall short. Built for captains who demand reliability in autopilot steering systems, this pushrod extension solves a real-world problem: accommodating wider beam widths without sacrificing the proven performance of Raymarine's tiller drive architecture. Whether you're piloting a center console, cruiser, or fishing platform with substantial beam dimensions, this extension bridges the gap between your autopilot drive and rudder linkage with the same engineering consistency Raymarine users have trusted for decades on the water.

This 5-inch extension increases the effective reach of your Raymarine tiller autopilot drive system, allowing the mechanical pushrod to travel the additional distance required by larger boat beams without binding, excess stress, or loss of steering authority. Constructed as a direct mechanical extension, it maintains the direct-drive feedback and tactile responsiveness that make cable-based autopilot systems so reliable in rough water—no electronics, no hydraulics, just proven rod-and-linkage mechanics. The lightweight design at just 1 pound ensures it adds negligible weight to your steering apparatus, preserving the balance and responsiveness your autopilot relies on for smooth course-holding performance.

Boaters with larger beam widths—particularly those operating 25-foot and up vessels in rough-water environments—benefit most from this extension, as it eliminates the compromise of running full-lock steering or dealing with reduced autopilot authority. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic Raymarine tiller drive systems; the extension connects directly to existing Raymarine autopilot drive units without modification. Verify compatibility with your specific Raymarine tiller autopilot model and measure your required extension distance before purchase to ensure proper steering geometry and drive unit performance.
