Eccoli qui, C.V.D.:
Good afternoon is the first problem we encountered in this type (:42
if possible that if the course computer has a poor diet
may affect the gyro voltage drop
can try to feed directly from the battery with 2 amp fuse
12 volt battery red wire
black negative cable drums
yellow wire to yellow gyro course computer input
caution polarity change could destroy equipment
on the response to the pilot smart 150'y 300 response is obtained only 3
hope your answer
regards

Everything seems to work fine: if I use it in wind vane mode the autopilot is able to pilot the boat even in strong winds. I have many problem with the Heading: it seems like it is not able to read the fluxgate information anymore. If i go straight and push the AUTO button, instead of continuing going straight, the boat start to go left or right!
