When checking the ruddershaft seal I found the Octopus pumpmotor for the Comnav autopilot 1 to be hanging loose due to broken motormounts !!
Surprisingly enough we have had no problems or symtoms from the autopilot but that´s probably just a matter of coincidence and time.
Fortunately there were spares onboard and replacing the broken ones went smooth (just don´t forget to order new spares !)
These motormounts was changed 2018 (1700 enginehours on them) and never broke before which is a cause for concern.
