I Am Looking for a Used Tiller Pilot, Any Make

I am looking for a used tiller pilot.

PM me if you have one you can part with and a price.

Does it have to function or are you just looking to experiment and/or part out?

Needs to work, and work good.

I am interested in a non working tiller pilot. Please email what you have, what may be wrong with it....if you know, and how much you want for it.

Thanks
Pat

Re: I Am Looking for a Used Tiller Pilot, Any Make

It's an Autohelm 1000 I scavenged from the "delete locker" at my club that I intended to use for salvaged parts should my functional Autohelm 1000 I use on my tiller-steered 33 footer ever act up, which it hasn't because it's a decent bit of gear, if basic and antiquated by today's standards. They steer the boat within five degrees...I don't need a tiller pilot to do much more!

Here's the Raymarine documentation link....thousands were sold back in the day: http://www.raymarine.com/SubmittedFi...0_analogue.pdf

Here's a picture:

So I don't know what's wrong with it. It could be a disconnected power lead; I haven't had the thing open to test it yet. Give me a couple of weeks and then PM me and I can let you know. I have no idea what to charge (if it just needs a drop of solder to be fixed, I would probably keep it as a windvane pilot), or if your distance from me makes it silly to ship.

Re: I Am Looking for a Used Tiller Pilot, any Make

Here are a couple from Craigslist. I've noticed tilerpilots tend to go quickly, so you may have to repeat the search every few days if these have already been bought. (I Googled "craiglist tiller pilot" and "craigslist tillerpilot")

Autohelm 2000 Tiller Pilot

Sailboat autopilot tiller pilot. Works great.

BTW, I got mine free from a friend who got it with a boat he bought and later sold. He didn't even know what it was. It wasn't functional by the time I got it, but I opened it up, and in about two minutes unfroze the little electric motor inside, and now it works perfectly. So there's hope for the "non-functioning" ones.
