Greetings....a/p has packed up. Head unit has incorrect heading occasionally and you can guess the rest. Made a sudden 90 degree turn yesterday. I have replaced Flux gate compass and guess it now needs brain replaced...any other ideas....maybe need a new A/P
 
I would send the "Brain" back to Raymarine and have them check it out. I have an older SPX unit and they actually fixed it for free.

BTW, if you replace the fluxgate you need to re-calibrate the unit. I would try re-calibrating the system first, then send back to Raymarine second. It's the right time of year to play with this stuff anyway. Good Luck!
 
Problem solved...threw it in trash and replaced with FURUNO unit...it's fantastic.

I am having the same issue with my Raymarine autopilot. Was the replacement plug and play?
