Raymarine SmartController Wireless Autopilot Remote, For SeaTalk, Base Station, 10 m Range

Overview

The Raymarine E15023 is a SmartController wireless remote and instrument repeater for Raymarine SeaTalk autopilot systems, supplied with the wireless base station for connection to the onboard SeaTalk network. It lets you steer by autopilot and view key instrument or navigation data from the helm, cockpit, deck, or another spot on board without standing directly in front of the main display.

The handset uses a 64 x 127 dot matrix display with backlighting, so course and instrument information can be read in changing light. It supports up to eight user-definable data pages with single, dual, or four-line layouts, and it can show a graphical CDI display for course deviation checks while underway.

Wireless range is up to 32 ft (10 m) from the base station. The rechargeable handset charges through the SeaTalk-powered mounting cradle, with battery life rated up to two weeks on a single charge, making it practical for regular cruising, sailing, and fishing use where autopilot access from more than one position is useful.

Compatibility and integration

This SmartController is built for Raymarine SeaTalk networks, so it is most relevant for boats already running a compatible Raymarine autopilot and SeaTalk instrument system. The base station connects into the existing SeaTalk network, allowing the handset to act as both an autopilot remote and a wireless instrument repeater.

For buyers replacing an older remote or adding control away from the helm, the key fit check is the onboard network. This unit is for SeaTalk systems, not a standalone remote for unrelated autopilot brands or networks.

Installation and setup

The included wireless base station is the link between the handset and the boat's SeaTalk system. Mount the base station where it can communicate reliably with the areas where the remote will be used, then connect it to the SeaTalk network and power path as required for that system.

The charging cradle keeps the handset ready between trips and avoids disposable batteries. On a cruising sailboat or powerboat, that makes the remote easy to keep near the helm, companionway, nav station, or another regular watch position.

Use on board

This remote is a strong match for skippers who want autopilot control while moving around the cockpit, trimming sails, watching fishing lines, or checking the deck without losing access to course control and key instrument data. It is especially useful where the main pilot control head is not visible from every working position on board.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
