Rogerio,  It is a Raymarine ST 1000+ fitted to the stern bar.  The remote control system is made by Madman Marine (www.madmanmarine.com).  The Raymarine remote system was 3 or 4 times the price.  The receiver is in the Starboard hull and connected to the tiller pilot cabling.  I made the wooden bracket which is fitted with U bolts and a pin that fits into a hole in the aluminium tubing to position and hold it at the correct distance.  The vertical wooden plate is simply there to prevent ropes from snagging the tiller pilot.  It all works extremely well.  The remote control hangs around my neck and I can steer the boat whilst working on the front trampoline.  The only downside it that I have to go onto the stern trampoline to connect and disconnect the unit onto the tiller which can get a little wet when the weather is rough.  I have put some more pictures in my album and also look on the Madman Marine website for pictures from other users.
