Raymarine st6000+ Issue

[Lloydellis]

My Raytheon ST6000+ is playing up with a type 2 12v hydraulic pump.

When i engage it on Auto it kicks back to standby.

If I am on the dock and not moving it stays on auto. When I press either +1 or -1 it changes moves the rudder. I can do this the whole way to the end of the rudder stop. If I press +10 or -10 then it disengages again.

Can someone help please? I do t even know how to troubleshoot this issue

It could be that stationary +- 10 will try to turn the boat by turning the rudder, if boat does not turn it will continue to turn the rudder to the end of its travel then either overloads the motor and trips back to standby or times out if boat does not respond.
Try it with boat moving

It does t work when moving. As soon as I press auto whilst under way it goes back to standby

I was thinking maybe a motor fault whereby it was overloading but working stationary disproves that. As fault appears whilst moving check fluxgate compass, does it show a stable heading and does it compare to magnetic compass when turning. Could try a 360 deg calibration

Just had a similar problem. After testing autopilot motor, I replaced the course computer, solved the problem, Raymarine do state that the rudder reference unit can show similar results, might be worth checking
