I have an Autohelm ST400+ wheelpilot on my E-32. Installed and calibrated per the owner's manual, seems to work ok, but I think that it could be improved.
1
Does anyone know if there are publications or websites which discuss: Theory of operation. Strategies for optimization.
2
Can tracking ability be improved by adding a rudder position sensor?
3
Does anyone have experience with the "Vane" function, how well does that work? Is the windvane feature worthwhile?
4
Is it common to need to recalibrate rudder gain for various boat speeds or wind speeds or angles of heel?
Thanks for any clues:
-DA
