You could use a 3 terminal terminal block. Use a common ground for the motor and clutch. Just saying.

Just 2 Anderson connectors and 1000% save job done.

The mounting foot is Raymarine part R18144. The following business has a used one for $54 with free shipping. The business is boatpartsshow.com
It would be good to check with Raymarine service to be sure that type 1 & 2
use the same foot.

I have a bit of play in the rotating block which causes some noise when the autopilot operates, and would hate having to shell out a couple of grand to replace the entire drive. All my google / ebay searches have been unsuccessful unfortunately, so your help is very appreciated!

Wow, after all these years this thread has come back to life.

Anderson connectors come in different sizes, They are not very robust and definitely won't handle any dampness. I stand by my post from 2020 - use a four pin twist lock generator connector. They are way more durable than Anderson powerpoles and are readily available at any major hardware store or electrical supply.

A terminal block means that you have to undo four individual wires and connect four others. A twistlock connector takes maybe 10 seconds to swap. I have changed drives in just a few minutes with my wife hand steering. Or you could heave to. When under way on a long passage time and simplicity overide any apparent cost saving. If a drive fails it will be in rougher sailing not ghosting along on a mill pond. BTW these connectors are about $10 each.

Again, you need four pins, not three. You cannot share any of the wires from the clutch and the motor.
