hi all, i have encountered a problem with my st6001 auto
helm. after a windy pick up off my
mooring with auto
helm engaged an
alarm was sounding on the
head unit so i turned all off and left the
boat. next time out trying to use auto pilot the
head unit displayed "norudref" and would not engage. i have tried the ohm,s test on the
rudder sensor and all checks out ok although the
rudder bar on head unit is all over the place and not true. since trying anouther sea trial it seems it will follow a course to starboard but will not recognise a change of course to port. has any body had a simular experience? not sure if i need a new rudder
sensor or control computer.
it is hard to get help in
Australia with
raymarine equipment so hoping someone can shed some light.
many thanks,Dave.
