SPX 30 Drive Stop Issue

Peter,

As indicated within my initial response, should the problem may result from insufficient power being supplied to the autopilot course computer. While depletion of the battery charge below the voltage level required for the autopilot to operate is the most common cause for insufficient power being supplied to the autopilot, insufficient power may also result from not having isolated the marine electronics from the vessel's other devices consuming large amounts of power. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. However, should you have verified that such isolation has been installed and the problem persists, then it would be advised that the X30 be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced. The note accompanying the product should specify the intermittent nature of the problem, to include the frequency (time between failures) and the voltage level measured at the course computer at the time of the failure.
