To Rick's question, I have no idea why the old ones worked, they may have been
designed to simply follow a compass course, but I think that from the four
thousand on they were designed to have feedback from the runner position
sensor. I know mine was worthless until I put it in. A salesman at defender
told me I didn't need it. He was wrong. It was a royal Pia to install. The
smaller the quarters, the more pain. I think I still have a drawing of how I
mounted it on the quadrant and pictures. Don't know how similar they are but
probably not too far off if you are interested.

Fred,
I guess this goes for st4000 wheel pilots too? Are there any available for
these and how tough an install.

Doug — sorry for the delay; it’s haulout weekend. Yes, on any Raymarine
autopilot systems older than the current EVO systems, you really need to have
the rudder reference transducer installed and calibrated to get decent
performance out of the system.
You should have gotten a transducer along with the X10 system; I’ve got one
around somewhere if you don’t find yours.

I had to get auto pilot because my cat refuses to take the helm. So I got the
Raymarine X10 with linear drive and a St70 control head. Thinking I should add
a rudder transducer... am thinking this will lessen the constant adjustments
from the pilot. What is your opinion Fred?
