In the Dominican Republic where I just bought a Hatt 61 cockpit motor yacht. It has a Robertson
AP 300 auto pilot but the control head screens are broken. Anyone know where to get a new or rebuilt head unit fast? I tried Max Marine inn Florida no luck. Stuck here till I can fix the system.

Re: Robertson autopilot head. HELP
Have you tried using it, just because the readout does not work you till should be able to drive the boat to your course and Engage the pilot and it will hold the course, mine did. Might be enough to get you back to the states, john

You can mix heads also. My old boat had a AP300 and and an AP 20 head working off the same system. Simrad will tell you it does not work , but it it does. Also try disconnecting one of the heads and see if the other will power up with the screen , I had a 300 which was malfunctioning and took the whole system out , when I DC'd it the other (pilothouse) AP20 worked fine.....Pat

You're stuck? You could run it with no autopilot. Watch the compass and steer a course. Funny how we forget how we used to do it.
