I have a functioning Navico TP 5500 tiller pilot that seems to be in good
working order. It is fitted with the 500 remote, but unfortunately that
seems to be on the fritz. The remote adds many features and it would be a
shame to dump this unit, old as it is. However I cannot find a repair
station for this item. Ideas?


Armond, I may be of help because I had a similar problem and solved it.
Actually my device is a Navico WP5000 with remote H5000 but the remote
is exactly the same as the TP5000.
Now the problem of the H5000 is that water/humidity seeps in and
corrodes the conductive copper film of the inner circuit board making it
go berserk.
So my advice is to follow what I did: don't be intimidated and open the
unit (H5000); rebuild the corroded parts with thin copper wire and a
proper solder iron. You will find that lukily only few parts need fixing
and, after that, the R5000 will return into life.
Afterwards be very careful in closing and sealing the unit better than
before.

Good luck
Daniel
