WH Autopilot

Anybody out there with a WH Autopilot? I have the P-3C with the 1/4 HP motor and the standard fluxgate compass. My problem is that it S curves while motoring. Very frustrating while on the ICW! I've tried adjusting the red screw, but it just makes the S's more abrupt.

Thanks,
Paul

Re: WH Autopilot

I have one but haven't had any problems with S turns. I do have a problem with the motor searching because of small leak somewhere in the system. Have you called Will?

Re: WH Autopilot

Paul, It sounds like you need to calibrate the unit, then fine tune it. There are a couple of POT adjustments and they need to be done correctly. If you have the manual, it is all covered. We used ours for 10 years without a hiccup. Chuck
