Raymarine Bulkhead Fitting Kit E15017

The Raymarine Bulkhead Fitting Kit E15017 is a precision marine mounting component designed specifically for securing Raymarine 4000 mk2 Wheel Drive systems to vessel bulkheads. This specialized fitting kit enables reliable, permanent installation of autopilot helm drives on fiberglass, aluminum, or steel boat structures. Raymarine's engineering ensures secure mechanical attachment that withstands sustained steering loads and the corrosive marine environment.

The E15017 kit accommodates the specific flange and fastening geometry of the 4000 mk2 drive unit, translating autopilot control signals into actual helm movement without mechanical slop or alignment drift. Compact at 9 × 2 × 12 inches and weighing just 0.5 pounds, the fitting hardware mounts flush to the bulkhead surface while distributing steering torque across the vessel's structural backbone. Stainless steel or marine-grade hardware resists salt water corrosion, maintaining connection integrity through extended offshore use.

This kit is essential for boaters installing or upgrading Raymarine 4000 mk2 autopilot systems on vessels where bulkhead mounting is the primary structural option. Weekend cruisers and offshore anglers alike depend on this fitting to transform a standalone Wheel Drive unit into a functional helm control. Without proper bulkhead fastening hardware, the 4000 mk2 drive cannot engage steering mechanisms reliably, making the E15017 a non-negotiable component for any Raymarine autopilot installation on this system generation.
