these type 300 core pack units that are "new" ex-autohelm stock often come up on ebay in the uk they sell for around £250.

there must have been a container full that went "missing" when autohelm was taken over by raymarine!

The Ray drive unit can be controlled by most vendors AP computers, eg Newer Ray, Furuno, Simrad, ...... So you don't need a Core Pack 300 to control it.

Strongly suggest you do NOT use the old Core Pack 300 to drive that unit. As mentioned, any of the new ones will drive it. I had three of those units that failed. Ones on EBay sometimes do not work. They are not well fused and fail.
