I have a GB 36 with a Sharp Autopilot. (Made in the UK in the 80’s). The pilot needs updating however the chain drive and motor is a solid piece of gear with a good solid mount. I would like to use the existing drive with a new Garmin, Comnav, Raymarine, or the like. I can’t seem to get a straight answer from any of the support lines on whether the motor is compatible. Does anyone have any experience with the Sharp pilots or know how to determine the type of motor that it uses. Google comes up almost empty. Sharp seems to be long gone.
