Not sure where to buy this in the U.S. but it’s the A18083 belt you need, I have the same grey housing and replaced mine recently.  Easy job, and no more noisy slipping, much better.

The belt in my autohelm frayed this past week and I'm looking to purchase a
replacement belt.

My receipt from back in 2002 says "Raymarine ST4000 Plus MK-I Wheel Pilot".

My unit is gray, not black.

Assuming there were different models, I have seen things like D169, ST4000
(no Plus specified), MK-II, etc.

Also saw a note saying " If your unit has the Gray Housing the D169 belt
will NOT fit".

Also saw "MK-1 = old version black housing.  The MK1 version has a black
wheel drive ring,

therefore it fits units with BLACK housing cover only."

As I said above, mine is the MK-1 with the gray housing so very confusing.

Anyone have information on the correct belt to purchase?

I have purchased the new Raymarine evolution wheel steering autohelm. My boat is a 1994 hull 31 it?s still has the original ST 4000.
I am curious if anyone else has replaced their unit with the new system. Now that I have bought it and brought it home my confidence has dropped as to my ability to do it myself.
Utopia is moored in Edmonds, Washington if anyone knows a good person to do the installation for me.
Thank you in advance for the input.

I installed my EV 100 about five years ago.

It takes some boat yoga, but it's not that difficult.

I believe I posted a long note on the list about how I did it. I believe others have, too.

You might want to do a search before hiring someone.

Bruce, I have called Raymarine with questions like this and they are very helpful, should be able to lead you to the part number to purchase.

Bruce,
I ordered the below for Easy Going back in 2015 to have on board as a spare. As coincidence would have it, I discovered my belt had frayed a couple of weeks ago and finally replaced it. Seemed to be a good fit and for the moment seems to have addressed a recent tendency of my clutch to "de-clutch" unintentionally. Although I've read about this problem, I had not experienced it until recently. We will see if the belt switch may have helped with that over the summer.

Looks like the url got stripped. Lets see if this works any better (if not it is at polybelt.com just search for D169)
