Vic:

Just to add one more notch in the handle. I was caught in thick fog (barely see the bow rail) this weekend and I usually use the autopilot in dense fog. Well, turn it on and before I could even tell it to hold a course, it turned full over to port. Shut it off and turned on again, same thing. After many tries it does the same thing. I am thinking I guess I will just dead reckon off the compass. Can do, just annoying. One last try I sprayed the controller, waited about 20 seconds and it worked perfectly. Saved me from concentrating for 2 hours on the compass. A much more enjoyable ride to just watch the Radar with my feet up.
