[CA] [CA11] Rudder Hard Over When Engaging Autopilot

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum George,

I suspect that there may be an issue with the phasing of the drive unit's motor leads. I would recommend that a Pilot Factory Reset and the other actions specified within the FAQ found here be undertaken to correct the issue. When at the point of the wizard which instructs the operator to command right or left rudder, note whether the rudder moves in the correct direction when commanded, and if not, then swap the Motor A/B terminals which the drive units motor leads have been connected to. Additionally, should any of the autopilot's components not have the latest available Raymarine product software update installed, then the component(s) software should be updated according and then the actions of the previously specified FAQ should be followed.
