[C320-list] Raymarine Wheeldrive Autopilot

[Mike Shetter]

   I had the same problem.  In my case the handle hit the instrument
   housing so it wouldn’t fully engage.  I just cut off the end of the
   handle so it goes “over center” and that seems to work fine

   A well known issue Mark. I used a bungee cord for a while but
   eventually gave up and fitted a below deck ram
   Expensive but the best investment I’ve ever made for my boat
   A reliable autopilot that steers well is worth its weight in gold.
   Particularly so as far as the admiral is concerned!
