[C320-list] ST 4000 Problems

Alan,
Our flux gate is mounted in the same bilge as the bilge pump.  However I would be more suspect of your charging system causing the problem.  It feels like you have a wire that handles a lot of current that is running near the flux gate or along the signal wires that run between the flux gate and the control head.

Where is the fluxgate located on the early boats (hull 67, 1994)?  Mine autopilot acts up when the engine is turned on while the autopilot is engaged. The autopilot then just veers off course and begins to steer in random directions far off the set heading.  The autopilot is not networked with any other device, so I'll start by looking at the fluxgate.  Alan Holland MI
