Note that many cell phone holsters have strong magnets to hold the case closed 
too. If you sit near where the fluxgate is………………

Good to hear.

Frienfriends don't let frienfriends mess with fluxgate compasses.

Make sure there is no metal near the flux compass. A frienfriend had this 
happen to him, 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 “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
