Autopilot steers to port when engaged in AUTO mode

RE: Autopilot steers to port when engaged in AUTO mode
Chuck,

Thank you for your reply to my thread.

1) I had the chance to check the deviation as you described and the value shown is "1 degree".

2) I took the video only to show the effect but was restricted as I was by myself. When I engage the autopilot and keep it engaged the autopilot steers to port in small steps until the wheel can't turn any further. Then it the keeps pushing against the mechanical rudder limit. In AUTO mode the autopilot never steers to starboard to correct the course (even when the boat makes full turns). When I leave the autopilot engaged the boat makes full turns as long as the autopilot remains in AUTO mode.

Thanks
Frank
