Last summer, we had two distinct problems with our Autohlem. I also figured I would relate my experiences here and point to the Autohelm diagram that I found essential.Įxploded diagram of a Raymarine Linear Drive Type 2 Autopilot Knowing how many people have these units, how complicated they appear to be, and how little information on them that is out there, I shot a video of me reassembling the unit, which should familiarize anyone who is interested with the insides of a linear drive autopilot. The insides of the unit turned out to be a lot simpler than I had imagined, though I will not be certain I fixed the problem until we spend some time with the pilot on while underway. But eventually I embraced the task, knowing I did not want to go through another summer worrying about whether our autopilot would continue to work and, if it broke, whether I would be able to fix it. Before starting to take it apart, I was a bit terrified of how complicated the thing would be on the inside and, ultimately, whether I would be able to get it back together, let alone fix it. I recently took apart our Autohelm – now Raymarine – Type 2 Linear Drive Autopilot to diagnose and correct a reoccurring issue we were having over the summer.
