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 “performance†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 wasn’t 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 Edd M.
