[C320-list] ST 4000 Problems

Any chance your tool box is on the sole right above where your flux gate compass is mounted?  If so, I've been there done that.  Worked much better when I moved all the metal away from the flux gate.

Had the shakedown sail today and while all other systems are fine, the 
autopilot seems to have lost its mind.  LOL

Despite repeated setup attempts using the Raymarine setup directions, the 
heading continues to be incorrect.  The heading displayed is no more than 
10-15 degrees from the heading setting on the last setup.  For example, go 
through the process to align the autopilot with the Ritchie compass.  Enter 
a setting of 90 degrees which appears to be saved.  Change course to 270 
degrees per Ritchie compass but the Raymarine still had a heading of 90 
degrees.

Comments/Suggestions??

Thanks!
