AutoHelm ST3000 failure

[kevinmccowan]

my ST3000 comes on just fine, but as soon as I push the auto button to engage it, it shuts down completely.

Stu! Thank you. I read the post. I really want to know just a little more. One part says, "Finally stumbled across Dan from Colorado on our 34 site, sent the head in and in a week it was back and it works! He said a transistor was bad so he put in 4 new ones with more power . . . . ."

Well, I wonder, who is Dan in Colorado?

Thank You!

I have NO CLUE who this guy is, only that someone recommended him for his good work. I've stumbled over this in a few different forums, so i posted it on our C34 'site so I could find it, just in case, you know, you asked!

Good luck.

Stu!

Thanks for your reply to my comment. I have since discovered who Dan in Colorado really is. Dan G--------. (I leave his last name out as it was not in the public forum before. But his e-mail is C250@mydurango.net . In response to an e-mail, Do you fix Autohelms?, he said, Yes, Autohelm, Raytheon, Raymarine only.

So, thanks to your post, I think Kevin can send in his autohelm for a redo. I know I will.

Thanks, Again. Robert

Kevin,

I had a problem awhile back with my 3000. I called Autohelm and they gave me a local certified electronics shop. I think they sent it back to Autohelm for repairs. The turn-around time wasn't bad tough.
