WTB used Sport Pilot Plus

I'm looking for a working or not Raymarine Sport Pilot Plus. Raymarine has discontinued them and quit making parts for them. I need just the gyro unit for parts. Somebody has to have one of these things laying around somewhere

Yeah I was actually bidding on that one on ebay, He pulled the auction because he was missing a part that I didnt need anyway, I emailed him and asked to buy what he had but he never responded

Navico was bought out by Simrad. Had an issue recently with a HP8000 and the Simrad tech support was glad to help. If you need knowledgeable help try calling them.

Raymarine does a complete rebuild for $350. I just had mine done. They even sent me a brand new Rudder Reference at no charge...didn't need it. If you need a RR let me know.
