Island Packet 465 Auto Pilot HELP!

We have a Island Packet 465 and our Raymarine Course Computer died, No Data. We would like to replace it. Raymarine is not familiar with the Lewmar Mamba Drive unit so they refuse to make a recomendation. Can anyone recomend or  point me in the right direction.

Thanks, Bill

Ebay. Replace with the same model, if you can find it.

Maybe you solved this already. If not, would be good to confirm that the Raymarine unit died. Often it's the connections that are the problem. If you haven't double checked those, that might save you some repairs. If you are sure it's really dead, I also recommend ebay. I had good luck replacing our helm raymarine radar unit - LCD died from FL heat. As a slow learner, I had to replace the replacement - but I also found a good unit for that. Obviously you need to be careful on ebay, but you may find good replacements.

Update....

We Replaced the Course Computer with a Raymarine ACU-400 along with a New Gyro/Compass and Control Head. Adjusted the Rudder Sensor and ran the Dock Wizard. Everything checks out fine Now. Chart plotter and Smart controller also check out. Next step is Sea Trials

Kevin Kolacki (K2) is a marvelous resource if you're in the Tampa Bay area. His guidance and input on the design of the electronics in SV Gracefull was fantastic. His execution of the installation thorough and professional. His support afterwards over the past three-and-a-half years has been superb: he keeps great records of the work he does--including reference photos of the wiring behind the panel--so that troubleshooting is efficient and accurate. If you're technically orientated, he can work through problems with you at that level. If you need more hand-holding, he's great at that.

In case you can't tell, I strongly recommend Kevin.
