Wood-Freeman Autopilot

[LIBERTY]

Recently purchased LIBERTY, '77 53MY, out of Yarmouth, Maine. Got the autopilot working on the way back to North Carolina, but it died on a day-trip a couple of weeks ago. I am replacing with new unit, but hate to dump all this hardware if anyone has a use for it. Have taken care in un-installing hardware and have all manuals. PM me with contact info if interested.

I have one and would love to have the parts as spares. I'll send you a pm.

If you have any interest, Wood-Freeman was the grandaddy of autopilots and is quite accurate without being harsh.

Here is a site about the genesis of those units. Some interesting history there...

Great story..., but I am afraid that I do not have the electrical egineering know-how to get this classic going again. It is nice that I have found a fellow owner with an operational system that would like the spares.
