I have owned both Simrad and Raymarine brands
The ST2000 is the quietest of the 1000, and 2000, and TP10 and TP22. I think out of the box reaction times on the TP22 are slightly better, but with some tweaking the 2000 is a solid alternative. I liked the ST2000 for the ability to do seatalk to interface my other raymarine instruments. The Simrad was better for Simrad instruments. So I think either is a good choice, and both solid kits. I have had the 1000, installed on a Capri 22, Capri 25, and they worked well. I had the 2000 installed on my S2 7.9, and I've had two S2 7.9s and the prior 7.9 I used the Simrad TP22, so can compare apples to apples. I am convinced that the TP22 was slightly better out of the box, but the integration for them are better with Simrad instruments. The ST2000 is great with raymarine, and also an excellent device. So my recommendation is to consider your instrument brand first, then pick the tiller pilot that more correctly complements them.

Autopilot change
I really like it. I used a Simrad TP22 for many years, but after some problems this year I switched to a Raymarine ST2000, and I think it was the right decision.

Questions
Do you have a replacement cap for the deck connection to the Raymarine 2000 tillerpilot?
No, but I still have the original cap. The cord connection for the Tillerpilot is definitely a point of failure. The tiny screws that connect to power on the backside of the plug can come loose. Tighten, make sure there’s a strain/weight relief on the power line to the backside of the plug and use electrical grease.

What is the weather resistance, salt water intrusion rating for Raymarine ST2000?
I checked and couldn’t find any actual ratings but I can say that I’ve had mine for over two years with a lot of saltwater exposure and it’s working as good as ever. I’m using it with an Axiom display and a p70s controller which solves all my navigation issues.

what exactly comes in the box?
Tiller pilot and basic mounting hardware. If you have special mounting requirements, you may need optional mounting accessories such as offset arms or Tillerpilot extender. Raymarine Tillerpilot has more mounting options/accessories than competitive model.
