[C320-list] Autopilot

[pkenefick]

Len:
I just had a Raymarine Auto installed with Rudder positioning. My question 
has to do witht he Wind mode - I have tried this numerous times and it 
simply does not seem to function as I would expect it to. One of the 
problems is that it trips out constantly after a few moments with the 
warning signal of Wind Shift .
Any suggestions for I would truly love to have this function working.
Thanks
