I'm setting up a rebuilt Autohelm ST5000+. Dumb question, but is my 1997 Hunter 376 and Sterndrive or Hydraulic drive?

Hunter 376 0 Washburn, WI on Lake Superior
My 376 is setup with a sterndrive unit in the aft port side locker. The previous owner modified (cut) the decking that covers the chain drive system to make room for the arm (then created/added a fiberglass stand off that covers the rudder post etc.).

Presuming you don't have a wheel mounted unit then yours MIGHT be set up similarly. But lots of factors with out more information, and I'm guessing it COULD be configured with any of the various Raymarine options.

Attached pictures are of the sterndrive unit in the locker and the cover unit over the arm/rudder area if that helps for your reference.

My bet is Sterndrive, Hunter Marine kept things simple, cable or rod? I don’t know, my H38 is rod.
