[TG11] ST4000+ starts hunting at higher cruising speeds
I am brand new to the Forum but have an old Autohelm that came with a cruising sailboat we purchased two years ago. (38 feet)
After calibrating the compass with <5* of variance I was excited to get the vessel moving forward in calm seas up to her cruising speed of 6.5 knots.
Between 3 and 4 knots of making way the pilot held fine with the drive making slight adjustments. When I reached 5.5 knots the boat starts veering starboard/comes back to port past centre/continues to port then comes all theway back again. At this point I need to take control back and put into Standby mode.
Reading the manual many times I have played with rudder gain (left it at 6) and also made sure there was no metal objects close to the compass.
Any thoughts?
I am crossing my fingers there is a command fix for this.
Cheers.
Greg McKenzie
