My original ST4000 drive broke mechanically and
replacements and spares no longer available. Ray
Marine told me the latest (grey) drive E12083 is mechanically stronger and a direct replacement for the older black ST4000 drive and would
work so I bought one. Sadly the original
electronics were also dead and my local Ray
Marine installer said I needed a new control
head and heading
sensor also, but the cost of these when bought individually was more than the (then) special offer discounted cost of a complete new EV100 pilot package, so I bought a full pilot package including of course another
wheel drive which is still in it's box just to get the control
head and heading sensor bits I needed. We had already fitted the first new drive to the wheel and this one has never been fitted. We are not long distance cruising any more and keeping a complete drive unit on board as a 'just in case' spare not necessary, especially as they are still available to buy if needs be unlike the older black ones.
