Hi,
the often used tillerpilots from Raymarine or Simrad like the ST2000 from Raymarine are not more than IP54 or 55. You can´t submerge them without destroying them.
For my new pypilot I bought a linearaktuator from pcnautic. It comes with a better cable entry and better seals then the normal china aktuators. PCNautic does not say anything about the IP-Class but I think it´s also not more than IP54/55. I can´t submerge (and I will not do so
) the actuator without destroying it.
So why not using a cover bag to protect the actuator.
For my old tillerpilot I just use a plastic bag to protect the tillerpilot against rain or salt water spray.
For the new one I try to tailor a cover made of pvc fabric or similar.
Best regards
Andreas
