Auto pilot woes

[robertj]

I’m by the look of it I’ll be replacing my ageing auto pilot which has given me a few problems lately.
I’m investigating the connections etc etc but no doubt will have to replace with new.
my existing system is the st 4000.
Any recommendations what to replace it with? I’d prefer to stay with Raymarine as the rest of e with my instruments are Raymarine.
same with my wind instrument too.

Not sure what the problems are, but mine tried to break my heart last year...

on reflection I think the problems were my moving things about (an anchor, an extension lead, mobile phone thrown on the seat above it) which had an effect in the calibration of the compass...

might be worth thinking about...

I’m at a loss so I’ve posted another thread on updating recommendations.
there is nothing altering the compass as it sticks on one course.

Which course computer do you have and what exactly is it doing wrong ?
