I have a 711C that continuously drifts off track to the East while in Nav/Course mode with no wind or current. If I change to XTE Precision the AP seems to be fighting the drift and I get a lot of rudder activity/swinging around the course line. In Auto (not advanced auto) mode, (setting course using Heading To Steer) the boat will track perfectly straight to the WP with only occasional 1 degree course corrections and very little rudder activity.
PG-700 shows Heading that is usually 5-7 degrees off my COG (again with no wind or current). Adding in compass offset seems to help but the further I travel North or South changes how much offset I need. Re-calibrated the PG-700 twice and have sea state set to full/auto. Not sure what else to try so any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.
