Attached are the schematics for the type one auto pilot pump. Page 3 shows the pump mechanism

Additionally it cost me nothing to fix. I also have the schematic of the pump if anyone needs or wants it

Thought I would provide an update to my auto pilot issue: I got in touch with the pump company from England. They were a fantastic help! talked me through what was likely wrong and how to fix it. He also provided me a schematic of the pump plumbing which was also a fantastic help. I disassembled...

I am not looking for battery powered - just remote controls

I was thinking with a remote so i did not have to run wires

First night with new to me this year coming back to harbor in the dark. Looking for recommendations on a spot light. I am thinking wireless and ability to rotate. I have a hard top and a pulpit to mount to. Any suggestions are appreciated thank you Steve

Thank you for the manual. it does reverse the polarity. I put power directly to the motor and switched the polarity manually. still no turn to port just starboard worked (although the pump made the same noise in both directions)

Thank you, I agree it just a simple motor that changes polarity to change direction. I will try and find if there is a check valve in the system and also trying bleeding it out.

Thank you for the reply. I am going to do more diagnostics for sure. do you have any idea how the hydraulics work inside the M81120 type 1 hydraulic pump? that my help me a lot. It looks to be electric over Hydraulic but not sure what the motor is turning inside the hydraulic portion.

The boat is new to me this spring and illness kept me from getting out much. the auto pilot came with the boat (2008 GW)

Hi all, I tried my autopilot for the first time this weekend and it failed. I spent time with the Raymarine tech on the phone today. After some extensive debug, we ended up putting 12volts directly to the pump and my outboard moves starboard but not port. As always help is appreciated Thank you...

Thank you for all the help. I plan on fist splash this Sunday and will be bringing my voltmeter. I will do a couple of measurements with the switch in different positions and see what I get. I may be back if I have concerns about what I discover

They are group 24 batteries , exactly the same. there was a battery charger with 2 banks but it was not working

Thank you for the response! for more information, I have one motor and one battery switch with 2 batteries. Below is the wiring diagram from the owners manual. What I think you are saying is that both batteries should be the same type?
