Raymarine Follow-On Tiller Steer Control Head

The Raymarine Follow-On Tiller Steer Control Head (Model A80532) is a dedicated control interface designed for Raymarine Evolution Autopilot Systems on powerboats. If you've spent years trusting electronic navigation on the water, you understand that autopilot reliability is non-negotiable—especially when running tiller-steered vessels where a secondary control point keeps you in command. This compact, waterproof control head gives you independent tiller steering authority, eliminating dependence on primary helm stations during long offshore runs or when managing multiple helm positions on larger sportfishing platforms.

Built for harsh marine environments, the Follow-On Tiller Steer Control Head is fully waterproof and mounts flush to any flat, rigid surface—ideal for console backs, hardtops, or bulkheads. Power delivery arrives via SeaTalkng networking protocol, meaning a single backbone cable handles both data and 12V DC supply, eliminating wire clutter and reducing potential failure points in salt spray conditions. The rigid mounting surface requirement ensures zero flex or chafe at the interface, critical for maintaining signal integrity in rough seas where vibration and movement could degrade autopilot responsiveness. Weighing just 1.2 pounds and measuring 6 x 3 x 9 inches, it integrates seamlessly into existing Raymarine Evolution autopilot networks without disrupting helm ergonomics or sightlines.

This control head is essential for powerboat operators running Raymarine Evolution autopilot systems who need redundant steering capability or wish to enable crew coordination on larger vessels. Anglers working the offshore bite benefit from independent tiller control at fighting stations, allowing precise heading maintenance while hooked up. Installation requires a compatible Raymarine Evolution Autopilot System and SeaTalkng backbone integration; confirm your existing system supports this control head before purchase to ensure plug-and-play compatibility. Its waterproof construction delivers years of reliable service even in spray-heavy applications, making it a trusted choice for serious boaters who demand professional-grade autopilot architecture.
