Nauti-Control ST & N2K Wireless vs Raymarine S100: Smarter Control at a Fraction of the Price

If youโ€™re considering a wireless control option for your Raymarine autopilot, you might have looked at the Raymarine S100 remote. While itโ€™s a well-known option, the Nauti-Control ST Wireless and N2K Wireless modules offer far more functionality โ€” and usually at less than a quarter of the cost.


Why Choose Nauti-Control Over the Raymarine S100?

The difference comes down to capability and connectivity.
The Raymarine S100 is a simple remote. It allows you to adjust course and control basic autopilot functions, but thatโ€™s where it ends.
The Nauti-Control Wireless modules, on the other hand, give you:

  • Full control from mobile and watch apps (Nauti-Mobile and Nauti-Wear)
  • A built-in web server for configuration and status monitoring
  • Wi-Fi connectivity for integration with apps such as OpenCPN, Navionics, and Signal K
  • Compatibility with both modern and legacy Raymarine autopilots via SeaTalk / SeaTalk NG / NMEA 2000 networks

Itโ€™s a complete bridge between your boatโ€™s data bus and your personal devices โ€” something the S100 simply isnโ€™t designed to do.


Compatibility Made Simple

  • ST Wireless connects directly to SeaTalk 1, making it ideal for older pilots such as the ST4000, ST6000, or ST7000 series.
  • N2K Wireless connects to NMEA 2000 or SeaTalk NG backbones, perfect for newer Evolution autopilots like the EV-100, EV-200, and EV-400.
  • Mixed network? Add a standard SeaTalk 1 โ†” SeaTalk NG converter and youโ€™re ready to go.

Real-World Value

At roughly four times the cost of a Nauti-Control module, the S100 provides a basic text display and button interface, but no data sharing, no app support, and no network connectivity.
With Nauti-Control, your smartphone or smartwatch becomes the display, showing live heading, wind, depth, speed, and more from your boatโ€™s data bus. You can steer, switch modes, or follow a track โ€” all with a tap on your phone or wrist.


Supported Commands

Both ST Wireless and N2K Wireless support the full set of autopilot commands:

  • ยฑ1 / ยฑ10 heading adjustments
  • Auto / Standby / Track / Wind modes
  • Feedback and live data directly from your autopilot bus

This makes Nauti-Control a true functional replacement for obsolete control heads such as the ST7000, while also providing a flexible modern interface.
