If the autopilot is using a ComNav
Fluxgate Compass,
try changing the
heeling adjustment to reduce or eliminate
the problem.
Remember to re-adjust the compass
using the automatic method after any
change of the heeling adjustment.
If this has no effect, return the heeling
adjustment to the centre of its travel, turn
off the automatic adjustment, and have a
qualified compass adjuster compensate
the compass. After the compass adjuster
is finished, re-swing the compass using
the automatic method, as described in
Section A, to remove any small residual
errors.
If the autopilot is using a different
brand of fluxgate compass, or a
magnetic compass with fluxgate
sensor,
a qualified compass adjuster will
be required to reduce or eliminate this
interference.
For best operation, in addition to normal
adjustments, the compass should be
compensated for deviation caused by
heeling error (particularly on steel hulled
vessels).
Adjustments of this sort should only
be performed by a qualified compass
adjuster.
