For Sale: Raymarine Type 1 Linear Drive

[Boatguy30]

As I have recently been outed as a naysayer and no-nothing I've decided to sell my most vital piece of offshore gear and purchase a deluxe armchair for my future postings.

I have a Raymarine/ autohelm type 1 linear drive. This unit is in excellent condition and has autohelm labels on it. There was discussion a few months back on this thread regarding the various aspects and qualities of the type 1 and it seems most agreed the autohelm models were the most rugged. I uses one a previous 20,000 mile cruise with no issues or hiccups on a 18,000 lb displacement yacht.

I believe this unit to have been reconditioned by raymarine in the last few years (but don't have the receipts) and comes in a raymarine box with the new style hull mounting pivot. It moves in and out effortlessly when powered off and the clutch locks up when power applied and goes in and out properly, etc.

$600 includes shipping in the US. willing to consider shipping overseas if needed.

cheers,
Jeff
