The Robertson autopilots are generally very reliable. I assume its an under-deck unit. The ones I have worked on are easy to troubleshoot and repair. Unless you have money to burn and just have to have a new unit, I suggest doing some simple troubleshooting to find exactly where the problem is. You may have a simple wiring problem. If the drive is good, I would simply replace the computer and control head and keep the drive. A wheel pilot is very marginal on a 37.

Before I take on the task of disconnecting, shipping and paying for servicing, I'm also considering replacing it with a newer energy-saving and efficient modern option. I see Raymarine sells a SPX-5 p70 system for around $1,500. What do you use on your boats? Any thing that I should be aware of? All the best, Edd Edd M.
