Does anyone know of somewhere to get parts or a spare Raymarine Sportpilot autopilot. Mine went out last week and I found out Raymarine has discontinued this autopilot and does not have any parts for them. The belt on the drive motor is the problem. Thanks!
 
cliffinnc-

I hope someone, perhaps one of our dealers, can help you find the specific OEM part.

If not, is it a very unusual type of belt?

Perhaps a major belt manufacturer, like Gates, could measure the dimensions and find a suitable substitute.

I rather imagine belts are like bearings. There are thousands of types, and it is likely that a similar product can be found and used.

You might try asking Raymarine who made the belts for them and then contact the manufacturer and see if the belt or a suitable substitute is available from them.

Good Luck!

Call Jerry at Georges Marine Electronics http://www.georgesme.com/

(850)456-4553. Tell him Roger Rockwell told you to call. He may be able to help you. He is one of their best and biggest volume dealers. He is probably their oldest dealer.

I read recently (I think on this forum, but I visit many) that they are bringing back the Sportpilot, this time with an improved drive mechanism. You might want to wait for that to happen.
