Autohelm 4000 Wheel Pilot Clutch Lever ST4000 N011

[J. David Bartenfield]

Friends,

I desperately need this clutch lever for my Raymarine 4000 wheel pilot auto helm.  If anyone can point me in a direction to locate this part I would be very grateful.

Call Raymarine. They still support the ST4000.

Unfortunately, I don't believe Raymarine sells individual parts like that. A dock mate of mine ended up buying an entire new wheel/motor assembly from Defender for app. $550 after a part on his broke.

It might be worth scouring eBay or salvage shops for someone selling parts. The wheels come in two varieties -- one is gray, the other is black. You may need to match yours with the one you're buying.

Good luck.

Jack-

 

Surely Raymarine has stocking dealers the DO sell the parts?????  If so, ask them to recommend the closest to you or send a list of all of them.

No, Raymarine is somewhat infamous for not supporting phased-out products and also for not selling smaller parts.

 

They are in the business of selling new autopilots and other electronics to a limited audience – sailors – who tend to keep their instruments for a long time. So Raymarine has strategies for making you say, what the hell, I’ll just buy a new one.

 

If something breaks on your wheel/motor assembly, you’re expected to buy a new assembly at $550 or so rather than $40 for the lever. The 4000 autopilot is discontinued, and it is not supported. So if your autopilot head breaks, it can’t be repaired – buy a new one, Raymarine says.

 

So it goes.

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.

Once again, this guy bought up all the old stock from Raymarine. He is knowledgeable, dependable and very fair priced. He has all the parts you need, lever and connecting shaft and cam. Contact him. http://www.ebay.com/usr/kodiakjack99...

Thanks!

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 bought part from a guy (4000 guru), on ebay. If he can't help you no one can. He does not list all the parts he has on ebay, but chat with him, he is very helpful and rebuilds them. He bought up the old stock from Raymarine when they stopped servicing them.

Here is his contact info http://www.ebay.com/usr/kodiakjack99?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

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.
