[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome the Raymarine Forum Taylor7000,

Q1. Is this a known issue with the SPX-30?
A1. No.

A2. The reported issue may be caused be resulting from any of the following:
- autopilot course computer incorrectly mounted ... must be mounted to a vertical bulkhead
- changes within the deviation field sensed by the fluxgate compass ... click here to see the FAQ addressing this subject
- failure of the fluxgate compass ... click here to see the FAQ addressing this subject
- failure within the rudder reference transducer ... click here to see the FAQ addressing this subject
- failure of within the autopilot course computer's circuitry ... should the sensed deviation be less than 9.9 degrees, and the fluxgate not be located near objects generating a strong magnetic field when switched ON, and the fluxgate compass test and rudder reference transducer test not identify any issues with the transducers, then the autopilot course computer should be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.
