You need to do very slow circles (counter clockwise works for me) and if you go too fast that will be displayed and you will have to start again. Usually after about 1 complete circle you should see a compass deviation number, anything 3 degrees and below is good. You can also adjust the heading angle to be the same as that indicated by your chart plotter or magnetic compass if you know it to be correct and your fluxgate compass reading is significantly different. I have discovered that sometimes the fluxgate compass may give very erroneous indications if the boat is not moving forward. Make sure all 5 wires from the fluxgate compass are making good electrical contact at the spade connectors on the control head...take them off and reestablish a connection and use some electrical contact cleaner on the connections to improve things.

Or what is the the 3 circle procedure for this process? It is the first time I have tried to use the auto helm st4000. When I put it on auto, it holds the course just fine its just reading like 209 degrees when the boat is tied up at the dock at like meg 340 degrees? Can I do a large dile in and then swing the the boat for deveation?> -- "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com ----- No virus found in this message.
