It could be anywhere - it depends on who did the electrionics install and when.

Many buyers opted to buy and install electronic separately as there is so much choice.

The most likely place is behind the dash panel or under the panel to the right of the lower helm. but it could literally be just about anywhere.

What autopilot do you have? Some Raymarine pilots of that era had the course computer combined in the control head, so there might not be one at all.

The most likely location is above the headlining in starboard cabin. I think I repaired one many years ago on a Squadron 43 as the there was no drive to the motor. I replaced the output transistors.

Hi

Many thanks for the reply it's a ray marine st700.. Think it will have a course box it's not in the main panel of the helm station so looks like I will have to remove some panels in the starboard cabin to locate very frustrating !

Many thanks..

I was hoping not to have to take panels down but look like I have no choice if going to solve the problem...seems silly not to have made it accessible

when I said behind the dash, I should have mentioned that access to the behind dash area is through the panel in the guest cabin. I think this is the most likely place assuming it has a separate course computer

Checked there without any success think it might to the side somewhere in the cabin is my guess seems a silly place go put it though

Could be behind settee if not under dash . Iconic boat love em .

Checked there no sign of it...

I have seen them installed in lazerette on starboard side, as already said it depends who done the install as everyone has their own ideas.
