[CA] [CA11] Dockside setup requirement underway?

RE: [CA11] Dockside setup requirement underway?
Hello Bob,

The older pilot models' very rigid, detailed calibration setup allowed these pilots to work sometimes on steering/drive systems that weren't within the recommend hard-over time range. The Evolution pilots essentially dispose of all of this fixed calibration and make their own course change decisions in more fluid way that's much more like a human helmsperson would, but as a result they do depend more heavily on a reasonable drive hard-over time (approx. 8 - 12s.)

Yes, older mechanical linear drives can be serviced, most of the spares are common with the modern drives. We don't have a service centre in French Polynesia, but our French office are in discussion with a company there about their becoming a Raymarine dealer, so they may be able to help. http://www.sthmarine.com/ is the dealer.

Alternatively, products can be serviced either here in Australia or by our distributor in New Zealand, Lusty and Blundell based in Auckland.

Regards,
Tom
