[TG] [TG11] SPX-5 Virtual Rudder Indicator Shows Rudder Hard Over

[Tom - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello spencerdd,

The wheel wasn't turning when you made your first post, but is now? What's changed in that case? Or is it perhaps turning when not under load but not when loaded, or not turning much?

If you can hear the motor and the drive moves but the resultant rudder movement is much less than the rudder-bar shows then perhaps there's some lost motion inside the drive (e.g. slipping belt), perhaps the steering has an unusually large number of turns lock-to-lock (the pilot is designed for systems of 1.5 - 3.5 turns) so doesn't produce enough rudder movement, or perhaps the calibration has become corrupted (e.g. by a dip in power supply just at the moment when the system was trying to write to memory) and the wrong drive type is now selected (different drive-types have different rudder responses.)

Regards,
Tom
