MARINE ELECTRONIC SERVICING USED BY THE  PROFESSIONALS

Since 1996 The Service Centre has provided electronic service and repair facilities directly to companies such as Simrad, Navico, Northstar, Navman, MX & Cetrek and are authorised service agents for many more including Raymarine & Icom

Spares for the ST50 Mast Head unit have been unavailable for some time and due to the way the units were constructed with plastic captive bearing housings replacing bearings was simply not practical. However due to continued demand we have now had tooling produced to enable us to replace the bearings without damage to the mast stem or plastic magnet housing.

We will replace all 4 top and bottom bearings with stainless steel bearings, wind vane and cups, seals and any other parts required* to bring the unit back to factory specification which may include internal electronic parts and deck connector (with the exception of the mast shaft, bearing housings (Pods) and the hall effect sensors - See Below) for a fixed price of £225.00 including VAT & return carriage

If you have RED bearing housings please contact us before purchase

This offer is only available in the UK - Other locations see our eBay shop.

Includes Full Test and Rebuild*

7 Day Repair Service**

12 Months Warranty

Track Repair Progress on Line

Free Telephone Product Support

How does it work?

Simply use the buy it now option, your order will be confirmed by email within a few hours which will also contain your personal reference number and full details of how to return your equipment for repair. Follow the instructions to return your equipment and we will inspect and test your equipment within seven working days from receipt at our factory. Please ensure you send your package signed for and insured, we recommend the Post Office or Parcel Force.  Please note items cannot be delivered or collected personally, they must be sent by courier.  We text or email you when we receive it and again when the repair has been completed, you can also check the progress on line.

Some things to consider, the cost is high as this process is labour intensive and delicate work, unlike some other internet and eBay offers we will replace all 4 bearings not just the outer top and bottom and importantly with stainless steel bearings to prevent rusting again. Replacement of the vane and cups are included as well as internal electronic components and mast connector if required however it does not include the shaft or top and bottom module housing or Hall Effect Sensors.

Finally, even with the correct tools, if the bearings have been rusting for some time it may not possible to remove the inner race from the shaft(s) and/or if the stem or bearing housings or hall effect sensors require replacement we will be happy to discuss alternatives and you will receive a full refund less return carriage. Unfortunately we are unable to repair earlier units with RED single bearing assemblies, if you have RED bearing housings contact us before purchase so we can determine if you have single or twin bearing assemblies
