This is just an exploratory question.
I have a Raymarine ST6001 hydraulic autopilot that seems to be getting wonky, and not maintaining a heading.
The hydraulic pump itself seems to be functioning normally.
I have not yet done the obvious step yet of calibration.
I know the rudder position sensor is working.
I am not sure about the fluxgate compass, other than there isn’t any metal around it other than what has been in the vicinity for the last 16 years.
The control head is working and communicating with my eS75 MFD which is bridged through a Seatalk nG system to the other ST60 instruments on the pod
I am wondering if the course computer is finally packing it in and needs to be replaced.
The question:
Has anyone done a replacement system that. did not include the replacement of the hydraulic system itself, and if so how was it accomplished?
