Wheel Pilot Stuttering

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum CW,

The performance which you have described would be considered normal. Essentially, the autopilot cycles through applying an increment rudder and waiting for sensed boat motion before applying further increments of rudder. As you have observed, the described behavior is most commonly associated with small heading changes. This behavior is often improved following installation of a rudder reference transducer.
