Paul, The Autohelm 5000 is a fine piece of engineering, and the linear drive is great. It steered for me for thousands of miles around the South Pacific and Asia when I didn't have enough wind for the windvane. If I were you, I'd try to get another drive from ebay and keep the existing system. It will save you lots of money compared to buying a new one. Chris C&C 37 Northern Light Halifax
