The older 1000 had its compass remote, and he was able to find a good place to situate it.

Send me a PM if you want to know any more about it.

Nautech was taken over by Autohelm who are now Raymarine - Portsmouth. I say Autohelm as I had one the same on a previous boat. Contact them for a manual and any necessary information regarding this model. Nautech AutoHelm 2000 (used as a back-up) Nautech AutoHelm2000 Handbook. This has truly been an international effort, and the interaction with these fine people has been the best part of the project!!

It all boiled down to a $3.50 integrated circuit that was in stock at my local electronics supply store.

A special thanks to my friend Darren Muscat in Malta for his help, with photos and videos and many emails to trouble shoot the unit. Many thanks to Colin at Colin Coady Marine in Ireland and his associate Derick at Raymarine in the UK for schematics. Maiden voyage of the newly repaired 1970's Nautech autohelm 1000.
