Re: Stus-List Autopilot steering

David, I can tell you that my Raymarine ST 4000 plus MKII wheel pilot was useless until I installed the rudder angle sensor that was supplied with it but I am not sure if your new wheel pilot was supplied with a rudder angle sensor.. I delayed installing that rudder angle sensor for 2 years becaus

Re: Stus-List Autopilot steering

My CnC 36 has prop shaft offset to port and therefore under power boat will steer to port unless rudder counteracts with starboard angle. When motoring my wheel is proabably two inches off dead center to starboard to steer straight course. The more rpms = more thrust = more port turn = more cou
