Best Tiller and Kicker Motor Autopilots Ranked

5 autopilots for tiller-steered sailboats and small kicker motors.

Last updated: November 9, 2026

A tiller pilot pushes the tiller with a linear drive. The self-contained ones carry their own compass and keypad and need no network, so they cost the least. The networked tiller pack here gives up that simplicity for a bigger displacement rating and a link to the boat’s instruments. The kicker autopilot steers a small gasoline outboard used for trolling. Maker ratings are for coastal use, so read the displacement limit and the maker’s cautions before you size one.
