Default ST1000 Tiller Pilot modification report

The limit switches I installed in my Raymarine ST1000 Tillerpilot last
winter worked perfectly.

The unit functioned all season without my having to give it a second
thought.


Good for you! I have a ST4000 wheelpilot, it's old and the gears in the
drive motor stripped last year.

Those nice folks at Raymarine won't sell you replacement gears, but they
will sell a complete motor assembly, for a mere $500.

I went to a local surplus store and bought a brand new power window
motor for 12 bucks. An afternoon's work in the shop and I had it fitted
to the ring assembly that turns the wheel..

Has worked a treat all summer.\


Cheers
Marty
