5.4 Trouble-Shooting Guide

The MONITOR has proven itself for many years and on thousands of installations. You should expect it to steer better than a good helmsman but from time to time we have boats when this is not the case. Unlike an autopilot, which has a black box that only the manufacturer or a shore based service facility can understand, the MONITOR is logical and mechanical and can be fixed at sea.

 This trouble-shooting guide shows some of the common problems – you might think these are a few ridiculous reasons for inferior MONITOR performance, but they are actual cases. We are repeating a few instructions mentioned earlier in this manual. On a normal boat with a decent skipper, there is no reason to accept poor MONITOR performance. We hope that this list will give you guidance and make sure that you get the most out of your MONITOR.
