[C320-list] No Backlight on Gauges

[Monte B.]

To all,

On the autopilot subject and the rudder reference unit. As for those with a
wandering helm on auto with or without the rru, loose helm cables will
induce autopilot hunt. If you have a significant amount of cable stretch and
slack in the helm, the autopilot, particularly without an rru, computes
servo run time to figure out the rudder location and does not recognize
cable slack in the computation. If you have an rru, the servo consumes more
power trying to obtain a rudder setting with slack cables. They should be
taught but not e-string tight and should be tensioned every couple of years.

I don't know how to post things to the website.  I send me your e-mail
address and I will send it to you.  You can post on line if you think it is
that good.

Chef Adam,

Better yet, post it on the 320IA or here for all to read. I too love night
sailing and for the uninitiated it's a great experience. The trick is in the
navigation and finding those night landmarks, not the shallow ones.
