It may simply be a loose belt?  There is a tensioner for that if it is a 4000 Plus.Another bandaid fix is to shockcord the clutch lever so it can't release on you.  Check the mechanicals first.  RayMarine recommends washing it out with fresh water periodically.   Good luck.

To open the wheel unit, put a large flat screwdriver or pry between the two circular segments and pry them apart. This will expose the drive belt, idler pulleys and the tensioning clutch lever. The problem you are having is mechanical. Rich Knowles Indigo. LF38 Halifax On Sep 29, 2013, at 18:

Your water tank will be polyethylene, not polypropylene, and nothing will stick to it long-term. Captain Tolley's will certainly not work. Your best bet is to remove the tank and take it in to a plastics shop and have the leak heat welded. To get the residue of the failed repair off, use Anti-Bond
