Upon season end maintance I had my dealer look at my helm unit that has been acting up a bit. The dealer suggested I contact Seastar myself for replacement and may have some luck. I was pleasantly supprised when SeaStar told me that for PARKERS they will honnor 3 years for warranty!!! A new unit is on its way to me, just have to return old unit. Very fair deal IMO vs. to the cost of a new helm.
