How does the pilot perform just in Auto mode, does it make sharp course changes and keep a good course, or is Auto mode performance poor too?

If the performance is bad in Auto mode too I'd be thinking something like:
- air in hydraulics
- incorrect Speed data source selected in pilot setup (the pilot relies on good speed data, sometimes engine interfaces or other devices output incorrect speed data so the Axiom's SOG data should generally be used instead)
- incorrect hydraulic pump for the size of the steering cylinder
- Hard-Over time calibration setting is set too low, meaning that the pilot tries to apply less helm than it should
- Rudder Limits set too close, so that pilot cannot apply enough helm.

A video (a minute or so long) showing the performance in Auto and Pattern modes may well shed some light, if you can attach one here?

Regards,
Tom

No worries Tom, I have been busy myself. From what I can tell it will go to a set way point turning when need be. I was planning on taking it out this weekend so Ill see about getting some video.
