RE: [CA] St6001 drops out of auto to standby
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Brian,

The most common cause for the reported problem is, as you have suggested, insufficient power resulting from intermittent/poor electrical connections or depleted batteries. It is recommended that the power and ground cabling supplying the autopilot's power be disconnected, inspected, and re-connected (from the autopilot course computer through any distribution blocks / panel to the batteries) to ensure that adequate gauge wire/cable has been used through and that all connections are free of corrosion and tight. With regard to connecting the 10 gauge able to the course computer's power terminals, either of your two suggestions are satisfactory to address supplying power to the autopilot course computer.

The second cause for such issues may be an intermittent SeaTalk communications path between the autopilot control head. It is recommended that the SeaTalk communications paths (power (red), data (yellow), and ground (shield) leads) be disconnected, inspected, and re-connected (from the autopilot course computer through any terminal strips or junction blocks / boxes) to ensure that that all connections are free of corrosion and tight.
