Hey Steve K, I found the back cover for the ST4000+ head. A bonus is the workbench got cleared off. (No "before" photo is available.)

Greg (Nightmare) has first dibs, then Steve H, then John S. I'll try to get this stuff organized after I get back from collecting my spiked eggnog from Sled tomorrow.
I didn't mean for you take such drastic action as a complete workbench clean, but thanks. Another 6" of new snow here in Meyers. My compliments to the eggnog!
Bob, did you gut an old kitchen to build that shop? It looks almost exactly like the shop in my Florida house, even down to the peg board and that opening piled full of stuff (mine has paint cans). That's really uncanny!
(Pun intended?) Mine is actually still piled high with boat parts. I asked Erik to send me a photo of yours.

So it looks like it is going to work. On Friday I got the 4000+ installed and hooked up. Had to enlarge the hole but all the wiring hooked up. A few minor glitches but I think I'll have sucess with it. Shortly before dark Friday I had a grand time "swinging the compass" with 2 large turns out in the Port Potrero Channel. No commercial trafic to interfere. Got dark so I headed in and next time I'll fine tune it. Thanks BobJ.
Wow, it's been almost a year . . .
I still have a ST60 Multi and the ST80 Wind Repeater - and now the X5 is available if anyone needs an autopilot. I ran it yesterday before taking it out and it works fine. It's several years old but the drive is newer and runs smoothly. Included are the belowdecks computer and heading sensor, controller, drive and manuals = a complete set. Offer?
