AHA!  We have a similar problem with our Raymarine 4000. About every third 
time we use it -- and I mean every third time on the same passage -- the 
belt fails to disengage when I disengage the clutch lever. I find that I can 
solve the problem (temporarily) by tightening the hex bolt that holds the 
clutch lever in place. It takes a metric hex wrench. I plan to take the 
whole wheel assembly off and bring it to Raymarine.

Hello,
I am still having trouble with my auto pilot.  It is an older  (pre 2001) 
ST4000.  The clutch lever does not stay engaged and pops up almost 
immediately.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.  All the manual 
says is I need to send it in to a Raymarine dealer as it needs a special 
tool to adjust the belt.
Holly
