Recently my X5 autopilot has lost its way. It seems ok at first. Then begins to over correct course changes and then goes down hill from there.
We are out on our first cruise of the year over the long US weekend. It started acting up. Are starting the pilot seems to help. It oat for long then after a few hours of minor issues the sailing instruments went out. The breaker was tripped. Resting worked fine for w while. But then went out again. Last try I just avoided using the pillar and it seemed like that is the source of the problem. Longer run tomorrow. So I should be able to confirm that. A few questions for the C&C hivemind... Any simple way to diagnose the pilot head? How much to replace the pilot? How much to replace the wheel pilot with a below deck set up? Thought, recommendations and pithy remarks are appreciated. thx Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C&C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660
