You are not going to find a Sea Ray System monitor in working order very easily, and not sure you really want one as it will most likely die in short order. There is an alternative if your interested.

The auto pilot head can be replaced by the newer ones offered by RM currently.

Who is RM?

RM probably = Raymarine.

Another Systems Monitor option:

My Raypilot 650 just started refusing to turn to starboard. Turns to port great. To make it more interesting the issue is intermittent. Sometimes works fine, 5 minutes later no turn to starboard. I go to standby and the steering wheel works fine. Any thoughts out there?

Intermittent points to a loose or poor connection. You may see proper voltage there, but is it getting the amperage required? Clean all of the connections. Could be just a slight bit of corrosion or worked its way loose from vibration, etc. Do every connector you can find in the system, even f it appears fine. This is where I always start when having electrical related issues. More times than not, problem resolves.

Thanks, I will start there.

I would put a voltmeter on the pump power supply in the controller and monitor that while turning the boat with the AP. If there is voltage when trying to turn to the STB then it could be the pump itself, there are valves in the pump head that could be leaking internally. The pump works by reversing the rotation on the pump, this achieved by reversing the supply voltage in the controller. So there should be +12 in one direction and -12 in the other. If + or - 12v is there when the AP is trying to turn the boat then the pump is bad, if no or low voltage then the controller is bad.

Thanks, that is simple enough
