Re: Lashing the helm on a Super Maramu
Hi Bob and Suzanne,
That item looks perfect for the job. Thanks for sharing. I will see if any are still available from Amel. Hopefully no issues with your rudder slam, always something keeping us on

Auto pilot gear bolt
Good day,
On a 2002 SM2K in the autopilot area above the galley sink I think this smaller gear should have a key retaining bolt or similar in the middle of the shaft.
