Pegathy is still using an AutoHelm 3000. It's a wheel pilot on a 38' boat. It
shouldn't work, but it does. Keeps a bearing, and tacks as advertised. Even in
heavy wind, though I have to use the wheel break to help stabilize the wheel -
there's not enough motor resistance in heavy wind to keep the wheel from
turning. It's worked offshore in heavy wind up and down the east coast. 'Course
most of my sailing is on the Chesapeake - much easier on an autopilot. The
belts do break, so keep spares.
A new autohelm has been on the buy list since I got the boat 5 years ago, but
there are other things, too - like sails. Maybe next year. Meanwhile, I've been
happy with it, and it keeps on chugging.

If you want to be really picky, there is a direct correlation. Not necessarily
1:1, but it is obviously, there.
I went with a standard double braid, but we have much less choice locally. A
lower stretch line would be probably better, but I never noticed the stretching
that someone mentioned a few messages before. This may depend also on the size
of the boat and the size of the genoa - mine are only 27? and 135%.
With this kind of line I bought double the length of the boat plus some safety
margin. I think I bought 70?, but at $0.5/ft. the extra 10 ft. did not matter.
That $5 was a good insurance and what I cut off the end will be used, for sure,
somewhere else.

Jonathan,
You are correct there isn't a direct correlation between furling line length
and foot length. As I previously stated mine happens to be roughly 1:1
averaged over the entire furl. I am simply visually approximating the diameter
of a full drum compared to a full sail roll. You're right the circumference of
the roll during the first few wraps is much smaller than when the entire sail
is rolled up. Yet the diameter of the drum stays nearly the same. I'll have
to measure the actual length of line needed to furl next time I think about it.
It will be interesting to see exactly what the ratio is.

very different.

I have an old Autohelm 5000 autopilot...yes it appears to be original.
Boats obviously relatively new for me and although an autopilot is on the
wish list, its not here yet. If this thing doesn't work or isn't worth even
trying, then I'll immediately ripping it out. I'd use the controller hole
immediately for something else. Here are the pics of the pieces. It seems
to be all there and I'm not sure where to start to test. Not in the water
yet.

Hi Paul
I'd test it! Until 2 years ago my boat had an Autohelm 4000 in use, it
was fine for holding a straight line but not so good for tacking. I
actually sold it on ebay for an amount that surprised me.
Check Raymarine's web site, they have (had?) old manuals on there. And
it looks like a good install of the drive down below.
Your 3rd picture with the Brookes and Gatehouse is not part of the
pilot, that is the old brain of a wind instrument.

I agree. Try it out and see. If it works then you may be able to postpone
your investment in a new system. I think the wind instrument is/was
providing input to the AP so that it could sail to the wind not just a
magnetic coarse.
It looks like the 3 knobs are for adjusting the response time. The manual
will obviously explain.
Good luck,

I reset the tension on the throttle cable before splashing this spring so the
throttle would stay where set. Broke the plastic throttle lever on the weekend.
So I ordered both the stainless ones from Marinepartdepot for less than half
what Edson is asking. Hoping it's not a rip off
The shifter lever on the left side of the pedestal seems to operate in reverse
of what would be logical, as in I pull the lever back to shift to forward, is
this standard for a 1985 33-2? Or has someone messed with the routing of the
linkage?
Thanks

Hi Brad ,
On my 33 mKii shift lever goes forward for forward , pull back for reverse.
I have the stainless throttle lever , but not shift lever as the curve of the
stainless lever hit the pedestal guard and wouldn?t engage forward
