• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

In search of a wired remote control for my Autohelm ST 7000 auto pilot. The Z101 handheld wired remote fits the unit. It must be a three wire Seatalk remote.
 
Try a raymarine s100 wireless remote. Ought to work.

Thanks, but that is a $
500 option. I was looking for a used manual jog remote I could pick up for much less. BTW you have my favorite boat!

There's a thread over on CF from last June that describes adding a wireless remote to an Autohelm 3000. These things are cheap on Amazon and eBay - like under $15, even with two remotes.

Thanks, that was a pretty cool project. The 3000 is a 4 wire setup and I have a 3 wire Seatalk system. I actually have a 4 wire Z076 wired remote that I bought thinking it was a Z101.

Or this one on Amazon, about $475 cheaper. And it comes with two remotes. And if it fails, for another $15 you can replace it. Or keep several spares.

My point is that today, wireless remotes are a commodity, and incredibly inexpensive. They come as an add-on to thousands of consumer products. Most LED light strips come with one. Air conditioners and fans come with one. I even found some fake candle tea lights that come with a remote.

Anyone selling a remote for hundreds of dollars is a crook. Sure, I'd pay more for quality. But not 3,000% more.
 
I guess I don't understand how this would work with an autopilot. Somehow the device needs to be networked into the autopilot control head. I understand that there is no magic to a remote, but how do you propose making this one work?
 
The 3000 that Capt Tom is working with has three signal/data wires and a Hot/High wire. Based on the CF discussion the relay remote works in that application. Its a different animal than my ST7000 which is the old Seatalk comm system that only has one data wire. I assume the Seatalk uses dropping resistors to differentiate the +1, -1, +10, -10 signals.
 
It also has to signal auto, standby and track. Good luck.
 
Remotes are ubiquitous as noted but be careful of frequency overcrowding. When I change tv channels my led lights change color! Imagine if it caused an autopilot to change course.
 
I have a couple remote for a st7000 with 3 wire sea talk. I am planning on replacing my auto pilot. I will be heading to the boat in a few weeks and will get you the model number.
 
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back.
Dave
 
Sorry the remotes I have are ST600R, if you think that would let me know

The ST600R is a control unit. I am looking for a Z101 remote. Picture attached. $_1 (1).JPG
 
I am still in the market for a Z101 Autoheld remote if someone has one laying around.
 
Does the ST6000+ support a remote like this? If so, how long is the wire?
 
Dave I have a complete Autohelm 6000 that was removed from my boat in working order and has a Z101 remote, 3 wire. We can likely work something out for just the remote or the whole thing if it is useful to you. See pic attached.
