John,

Did you get all of the accessories with the autopilot? By accessories I mean the cantilever and mounting bracket, electrical socket, tiller pin,...etc.

Also, I remember reading in this forum of people who sent their Raymarine products in for service and getting incredible deals like free repairs/replacements and/or discounts on new equipment. You may want to look into this before expending a lot of effort(money) in repairing an older model autopilot.

Just a thought.

Gerard,

Don may be referring to an article posted by Ken Cave some time ago. He had a problem with an Autohelm 1000 and after sending it to the manufacturer for repair/consultation was issued a new unit no charge. Understandably, he was jubilant with the out come of the interaction
I have the Autohelm 1000 and have had five years of flawless operation with it feeling confident that should a problem occur Autohelm is a great company to have done business with.

I'm sure you will have the same experience dealing with their customer support team.
