I agree with Jack’s analysis of Raymarine.
I’m going to try making a new lever, maybe get a machine shop to make one of stainless. It looks like the newer model ST4000 mk2 has a lever that connects a bit differently. I need the one with the roller pin that secures the lever to the clutch. The problem I have is the pin sheared and will not, thus far, come out from either side of the lever.
It left me in a hell of a fix for several tense moments when it sheared. The pin sheared with the clutch engaged making it nearly impossible to turn the wheel. I literally had to remove the wheel and then put it back on flipped around backwards to regain control at the helm.

Got an email on the bristolsailboats.org web site from Brian Dittenhofer , who is considering buying a Bristol 47.7 and would greatly appreciate any opinions and advice from owners of the 47.7 and similar models from the latter Bristol era, when the company was building the high-end custom sailboats.
You can message him at bigwav...@aol.com

I have the exact part you need. It is brand new and includes the sheer pin. Message me at barte...@gmail.com.
I am upgrading to the EV-100 wheel pilot this weekend. Hope that goes well.
