OK, will do. We did do this with the hh one we have and nothing startling found. It's on a bulkhead in a cabin locker far enough away from the keel. It's was fine last year

Oh and watch out for idiots who vape, most "pod" type use magnets to hold them in.
They then spend 12 months trying to work out why whenever they adjust the tiller Pilot it kicks off 🫣

I can now confirm the the Voopoo ITO pod vape has no noticeable effect 😁

So pleased to be of help with such a frustrating problem. I was nearly ready to throw my EV100 in the skip so glad I helped out another user.

Thankyou Raffy and Pioneer
After more emptying of cabin locker contents, measuring distances, checking connections, putting heads in sand etc we then looked at rudder direction (yes Pioneer its v confusing!!) And reset it - bingo. So more careful reorganising when replacing stuff , solar still disconnected ATM.
I can go off tomorrow single handed for the East Coast.
