[CA11] Rudder Hard Over When Engaging Autopilot
Hi All. I'm new on this forum and I'm hoping I can get some help on understanding what's causing my autopilot to drive the rudder hard over when I go to Auto from Standby. I've read several posts but not sure their systems were the same as mine. I have a p70R Autopilot Controller, EV-1 Course Computer and ACU-400 Actuator Unit. When in Standby at the dock I can see the rudder indicator on the Controller tracking the rudder movement when I turn it port and starboard. I then centered the rudders and switched to Auto. The rudders immediately and swiftly move all the way to starboard. It did the same thing when I took the boat out and was cruising at 8-10 knots. Kind of exciting when it does that! This vessel is a 1987 Jefferson 42 that I purchased in January and it is the first time using the autopilot form. Orevious owner said the autopilot was working fine for him but he hadn't taken her out in over a year. Any help is greatly appreciated.
George
