Re: Stus-List ActiveCaptain/Defender AutoPilot Special

Some advice from someone that used to be a Raytheon dealer: 1. The X5 and other wheel-pilots are all fair weather devices. They work fine for motoring or sailing in easy conditions. If you can steer without too much trouble, so can they. Going downwind with any kind of sea is usually hope

Re: Stus-List ActiveCaptain/Defender AutoPilot Special

I’d say it really comes down to how you plan to use the boat. The wheel pilot is marginal at best but if you’re just going to sail for a few hours in protected bays, in light to moderate wind its fine. It may also be a viable option if on a tight budget and view the autopilot as a luxury rathe

Re: Stus-List ActiveCaptain/Defender AutoPilot Special

Agreed — rule of thumb is to size the autopilot so that its rating is at least 1-1/2 times the displacement of the vessel; Raymarine says to add 20%, but that’s not conservative enough in my opinion. So for a LF38 at a published displacement of 16,000 lbs (which means in real life, it’s more li

Re: Stus-List AutoPilot Issues

To amplify a bit: there IS a SeaTalkNG connection on the X5 course computer; but as far as I know, it’s only to get onto the backbone for other data. I’m not sure you can run the X5 with only a SeaTalkNG control head. The fluxgate compass and rudder reference transducer connect right to the X5

Danny — have you gone carefully through the install manual and checked everything in your system? The X5 is a SeaTalk-based system, and used to ship with the ST6002 control head; the p70 is SeaTalkNG, which is a completely different communication system than SeaTalk. Do you have a SeaTalk-to-N
