Good to hear.
Frienfriends don't let frienfriends mess with fluxgate compasses.

Make sure there is no metal near the flux

found a spray can next to his flux compass.

Subject: Stus-List Raymarine Autopilot Question
Listers,
Yesterday, on a dinner trip to Oyster Bay, our
autopilot stated to malfunction after about an hour or so.
It would be holding a course, then start veering
to port, then to starboard, then much more to
port, then much more to starboard . . and so on.
Eventually, it would get so far off (over 90
degrees), a the autopilot would disengage. I
shut it down and tried to restart it by cutting
power to it for about a minute, then it would
happen again after a minute or two.
I tries setting the p70 to âperformanceâ to
keep the boat more tightly on course, but that
had no effect. The display kept showing how far
off we were (so I know the EV sensor core was
working), but it wasnât correcting course properly.
I ended up turning it off completely, in fears
of getting a DUI inquiry from all the S-turns.
Any ideas? To clarify, I have a ACU-200 and a
ST4000+ wheel pilot. And, up until yesterday, it was working flawlessly.
All the best,
Edd
