My husband is part of a 4 man crew currently rowing acrodd the Atlantic. They are using the SPX5 raymarine autohelm system. In just over 3 weeks 2 autohelm arms have failed - both now simply fully extend and lock when engaged. They cannot identify a fault as the motor works fine when plugged directly to 12V and computer works fine with 3rd (and final) new arm. Has anyone experienced this problem and if so found a solution? Any help/thoughts appreciated."
UPDATE - third arm / unit now failed and it's not corrosion asthe units work when directly on the 12v
ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED. Thanks
