OK, if its not a tricky question, these are the old ST50 Autohelm series. I had them on a boat years ago.

Those instruments are for getting wombats out of their hole, to see if they see there shadow, then we know if spring is coming now or in 6 weeks.........oh wait a minute, 6 more weeks of winter, he saw his shadow answering the question! dang gummit!

Yeah right....ptooeee.....next you'll be telling me that one was for wind speed/direction, one was a depthsounder and the other one a log.

But if you're so smart what about the sea gull perch whirly magig thingy ??

Hmmmmm ??

What about that then ??

He said with a petulant intonation and snuggled back down till spring had really sprung......

Nah, come om , it has to be a trick question......

Well duh I know they are "seatalk autohelm" - what I was looking for was the model number. Are you sure they are st50 and not st30?
Are these still serviced? Does the windspeed/direction sensor have a model number?

[chucklesR]

Google images of the autohelm st50 and there they are.

Really, does no one look for themselves any more?

What a nice friendly sailing community this is!

The ST 30 looks like the ST50. Is there any way to tell the difference?
