I've just completed the installation of the hydraulics part of the 711C. Did all the mounting and electrical installation last week. I have dual Yamaha F150's so I'm using the HRP11 pump. Everything went fine today and I'm pretty sure I've got it ready to go in the water, just have a few questions.
The one thing I noticed while purging the air from the system is that if I drive the helm hard either direction and then try and run the motor the opposite direction, the motor seems to bog a bit as it breaks away and starts moving. If I do the same exact thing, but don't drive the helm hard either way, that is, stop immediately at full S or P, then the motor goes the other direction without any hesitation.
Does this make any sense? It's a really slight difference, but I notice everything and like things to be smooth.
OK, EDITED to add that I found this on page 3-26 of the installation manual "It is not necessary to perform any adjustments locally at the PG500/700. NAVpilot has full control of these heading sensors."
Does this answer the question below? And for the total coolness scenario, can I do all the calibration automatically via the pilot, just select AUTO and sit back and watch the show?
The other question is regarding calibrating the PG700. I have it mounted in an ideal location, however, it's somewhere where access is tricky when I'm on the water. Is there a way to go through all the calibration steps remotely? That is, can I avoid pressing the buttons on the unit itself and just use the autopilot or MFD to walk it through the steps?
