    Autohelm ST7000 Troubleshooting? Turns one way, but not the other......

    I just picked up a 1988 Carver 3807. It came with an Autohelm ST7000 head unit in a closet. Turns out all the rest of the equipment was still installed, but they snipped the wires for the control unit when they installed an older GPS. Anyway, I pulled all the old electronics out and reinstalled...

    Motor shakes violently, sometimes.....

    Here is a strange one.... I have a 2004 Monterey 265CR with a Volvo 5.7Gxi and DP-S drive. I bought it last year and never had a problem. This year, I started it up on land when de-winterizing and after a minute or so, turned the wheel just a bit, and the motor started to shake violently. Turned...
