Autohelm ST4000, 3-Mount brackets

[Charlie3472]

Good Morning all,
I have an autohelm 4000 on my Catalina 30. The 3 brackets that mount the autohelm drive wheel to my helm wheel are old and breaking. Where have you found replacements??
Thanks and Best regards,
Charlie

They are likely a part you can still order from Raymarine, and could be listed by part number in your instruction booklet. I have the ST4000 MKII+ but I keep a cover over my helm to protect it from the elements, now I am fortunate for it.

Drive Bracket

I agree with the previous poster. These should be available from Ray Marine, as they still are using basically the same brackets on the new models. They have very good tech support, most of the time. Ray calls them spoke clamps and their phone # for parts and tech support is 800 539-5539.

Like previously stated, you can get them from Raymarine. Unfortunately Raymarine's parts search is about as bad as I have ever seen. Google finds stuff on their website much easier.

Each kit is for 1 spoke. The kit comes with clamps for 3 different spoke diameters. I bought 3 kits, used the sizes I needed and sold the other 2 for $30 each on ebay which paid for mine.
