Google told me that Steve of "Good Intentions" appears to have once
had old Autohelm schematics. I have a working tiller pilot that strongly resembles the one in this manual http://www.raymarine.com/raymarine/S...H800Analog.pdf and I have a second one in superficially better shape that isn't working and has the sound of small pieces moving inside the casing. So my plan is to fix the non-working one, or scavenge parts. The best way to do either is with a schematic. So if anyone can guide me to one... One puzzle is that I could have sworn the units were called Autohelm 1000s. They are pre-interface with anything, and work simply with an "off/calm/rough/vane" switch, and a compass heading dial. But the AH1000 manual on the Raymarine site shows a push-button (more recent) model, with the only "dial" tiller pilot being the AH800. Mine has the standard two-pin 12 v plug and mounts on the starboard locker top and just "sits" on a pin on top of my tiller, around the mid-point. It works so well that I see no need to change it, particularly if I can revive or scavenge its twin, disposed at the "free stuff" locker at my boat club. So hailing Steve, or anyone with a lead on how to troubleshoot these old machines. TIA, R. |
