Title: Autohelm Parts Source
Post by: Jim Brener on October 06, 2016, 07:17:05 AM

I have an Autohelm 3000, I named him Oscar, I love Oscar, he steers better than I do, then Oscar broke his leg, I mean the lever that tensions the belt broke. I repaired it several times before looking for a replacement part. I found this source, http://i3dgear.com/ who had made an improved handle and cam. I ordered one and it works fine. The site is run by Rick Wallace and he sells other Autohelm parts and has made improvements on OEM parts. He also has a technical contact who had worked for Autohelm if that help is needed.

While not state of the art, this unit still works fine and I see no reason at this time to spend boat bucks for a replacement as long as parts are available.

Just an FYI, there's a C-30 brethren looking for a new home for a working (reportedly in good order) AH 3000.
