If any of your members is interested I have a Nico Autopilot previously fitted to Volante of Ville, a Nicholson 38 foot sloop build in 1960 (in wood!). It was fitted in 1982 and removed in the early 2000s when she was up for sale and the motor was quite rusted.
In addition to the motor, I have the compass, drive chain, control head, junction box and wiring. I also have manual NMAP880 and supplement NM APH 979/1 for hydraulic systems.
– Head plus cabling with 3 cables connected £75
– Compass connected to its junction box £75
– External isolator switch (plastic) £25
– Motor badly rusted case in places for spares £25
– 1.4m of chain and a further 60cm – no links £20
– Manuals £10
Or £175 for all.
I am happy for anyone to view.
