autopilot

I have a 2006 Raymarine C80 Display and ST6001 Smartpilot Controller. I have had an intermittent problem that shows up randomly. The C80 Display, boat compass, and the COG reading via the ST6001 all show the correct heading. But, the "Standby" direction on the ST6001 is way off and seems to be...

I have a ST6000 auto pilot. Had the motor rebuilt and now when i engage the autopilot it just keeps turning. I held down standby for 2 seconds setup pops up for a few seconds and will not let me do anything. I tried to reset it to dealer settings by holding down standby for 14 seconds as the...

Looking for advice as I upgrade the old electronics on my Ericson 30+. Currently have a Raymarine X5 autopilot that is working fine. Remainder of instruments (wind, depth, speed) are basically not working. Have an Openplotter Raspberry Pi system providing GPS to VHF as well as picking up AIS on...

I own a Hunter 336 sailboat. I have a Raymarine EV-100 Wheel Pilot brand new in box and have had it for 3 years...never installed. I would like to install it myself but do not know what I need to do inside the pedestal. I've searched You Tube and found only limited detailed video of this done...

Has anyone installed the newer Raymarine EV-100 wheel autopilot kit in a Hunter 280 or similarly configured mid-size Hunter? I'm getting ready to do this and I'm wondering about the best locations for the various components (compass, computer, interface & control head). The 280 also requires...

Dear Hunter-Owner, My autopilot has stopped working and I would like to source a replacement unit (or possibly repair the motor). Unfortunately, it is not marked with a manufacturer or model number. Can anyone help identify this marvellous piece of engineering? Many Thanks, Hunta285

I was doing my annual inspection and maintenance of my Edson steering. Noticed the Rudder Stop had a bit of corrosion. This is attached to the Steering Sheave and bumps against a "barrier" on 25° angles to restrict the rudder angle. Normally, the only force is the Helmsman arm strength on the...

While troubleshooting error messages on our ST4000+, it turns out the wires connected to the wheel drive motor were hanging on by a few strands, and probably shorting out. I want to fix it but I don’t know how to attach wires to the two-pin connector that makes the link to the motor. Photos are...

Hey, I am looking into installing a linear drive on my 1987 Hunter31. I am aware of the complexity of the task and I am getting quotes as well as considering a DIY job. To help guide me (and them), I would love to see what a successful linear drive install on one of these boats look like. Here...

I'm sourcing 3rd party belt for my ST4000+ MK2 drive. Searching this forum reveals someone uses Ametric T5.750.9 750mm length but the original I ordered previously label Brecoflex 12AT5/875 which is supposedly 12mm width and 875mm in length. My boat is currently 500miles away. So could anyone...

I have a ST4000 (the black one, not the grey ST4000+) and am getting used to its awful limitations, even on a Catalina 30. Granted, I am sailing in and near San Francisco Bay where the wind and currents are quite strong. I have basically given up tuning the thing to be anything better than an...

Hello! I have an Raymarine ST4000 control head that shows garbage every now and again. I read somewhere in an old forum that pushing on the face of the unit solves the problem, which it does. But I can't keep my hand on the case all the time, so does anyone know a way to fix this? I tighten the...

Hi Guys/Girls, I have just purchased a 2003 Hunter Legend 356 to which I wish to fit an autopilot. The Raymarine new generation looks good, but I don't want a wheel drive, but a linear drive. Can anyone help with suggestions of type/model and installation photos/experience please? Regards, Neil
