[C320-list] Wheel Autopilot Raymarine

[Mark Hood]

Hi Scott, We had a wheel pilot on our old Douglas 32  We tried to adjust
and changed the belt, nothing worked. The clutch just kept popping out,
just made too cheap I would assume or possibly too much load, not sure. Our
fix was to use a ball bungee around the lower post and stretched over to
the clutch lever when engaged, worked perfect! Mark Hood
