I recently bought a
boat fitted with a ST4000+,
wheel drive and
rudder position
sensor. On the
delivery trip home, the
boat was oversteering a lot but manageable. I assumed at the time that the
rudder position
sensor was dead.
Finally got around to looking at it (it was not a high priority item) - checked the volts at the control
head - return from the sensor seemed fine 1.5v hard over one way 2.5v straight and 3.5v hard over the other way.
I went into user setup, changed the display to rudder bar. Rudder bar is now shown on auto, but not on standby, however the display does not move, it just shows the rudder dead center regardless. I read somewhere that switching to tiller pilot, then back to
wheel pilot could get the control
head to check for the position sensor.
Went into dealer setup. I see
CAL ?, but cannot move from there. None of the keys have any effect. According to the manual DISP steps through the options, +1 and -1 select values. All keys beep when I press them, and
work fine normally.
After a few seconds, dealer setup times out, and puts me back to standby.
Any ideas?
Oh, and it is Version 14 - I'm guessing that is a
software version.
T.I.A.
