[C320-list] Autohelm

[jsail320 at cox.net]

Joan, my 4000 works great with perhaps the exception of following seas.  Are you sure you have all the settings set correctly??  When we sailed our C320 from NY to NC I had to change the latitude setting along the way otherwise the boat would veer port to starboard like she was dancing.
