Ray Marine Smart Pilot X-5

[kevMar]

An update on the Smart Pilot X-5......   I had been having alot of problems with my autopilot since i installed it some 3 mos ago. It worked for the first 4 hours then it would not hold a course i set and kept diplaying " Calibration required " "No Pilot" and just would not work. I hadf a rep come on the boat and he could not figure it out either. I sent the course computer back to ray marine and low and behold the newer units 2010 there was a batch that the circuits were no good. They sent me a new course computer i installed the new unit and it is working just great. If you have one of the newer units and are having problems i would contact Ray Marine. They were very helpful and are vey concern about the newer units. They sent me a 2009 course computer which seems to be working good.
