Raymarine Linear Drive – Check and Replace Clutch for Optimal Performance

How to measure resistance and replace the clutch (Part Number N007) on your Raymarine linear drive unit.

To ensure your Raymarine mechanical linear drive unit operates optimally, it is important to regularly check the condition of the clutch. A simple way to do this is by performing a resistance measurement on the clutch.

How to check the clutch

The clutch in a linear drive unit should have a resistance of approximately 30 Ohm. If the value deviates significantly, it may indicate wear or a fault in the component.

Clutch replacement – Spare parts

If you need to replace the clutch, it is available as an original spare part with Raymarine part number N007. Using original parts ensures compatibility and long lifespan for your autopilot installation.

Maintenance tips

  • Perform resistance measurement at regular service intervals.
  • Always use original Raymarine spare parts for best performance.
  • Also check cabling and connections when replacing the clutch.

By following these steps, you can extend the lifespan of your Raymarine linear drive unit and ensure your autopilot functions as it should under all conditions.
