Raymarine ST1000+ tillerpilot repair?

[Way]

Hi - can anyone recommend somewhere around Gosport that might repair my tillerpilot? It jumped on the floor and the fluxgate compass feels loose inside. Have heard something about a place in Dorset but would prefer to not have to go that far.

Why not try Raymarine now in Segensworth I think.

I think fluxgate compass units do feel 'loose inside' normally. Mine certainly does.
Raymaine have a fixed price tariff for repairs which can work out quite reasonable, especially if the unit needs a lot done to it.

Ouch , Andy get the screw drivers out and have a look inside, there was a previous thread on here about gluing the compass back in again.

Thanks everyone

Great idea Pete. Will try that and see what I can find. Unit largely works albeit with a slightly loose compass.

Thanks

That was me.

I still advise to get in there and have a look, but be careful not to break anyhthing and be inventive if need be.
Raymarine will not supply the plastic pivots alone, they only come with a whole replacement compass!


Good luck

Thanks again. I'll have a go and see what I can muster
