Tom, I have the same issue with my autopilot. According to Raymarine, this has something to do with your rudder-over setting. They say if you adjust that and test, it should correct.
I haven’t tried it yet, since we just launched last week, but will do so soon. Not very pithy today. Stuck in the office while it’s 79, sunny, 5-10, with a Starship only 20 miles away….. All the best, Edd Edd M.
