[DG] [DG11] DRIVE STOPPED troubleshooting

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi KWolfel,

Thank you for your enquiry,

CURRENT LIMIT specifically suggests that the drive is taking too much current and the course computer is alarming to indicate that it thinks it is too heavily loaded, coupled with DRIVE STOPPED suggests that the electric motor in the drive is not operating or the rudder reference unit is not indicating rudder movement.

Please carry out the checks referred to here to investigate further.

it is possible that if this is the original drive fitted to the boat - it will be quite old as identified by the ST7002 control unit, so possibly the electric motor is becoming faulty - taking too much current or the brushes are worn.

Thanks
Derek
