Hi,
We have Furuno autopilot with 7001 display installed on iron fishing vessel. The course keeping is not good, and we tried many things but without success. I have one quality NMEA 0183 compass with pickoff coil or course detector, and I would like to try with that because vessels compass is very good and compensated. Can I connect this compass on this pilot instead Furuno compass just for test? With Furuno compass the vessel turns to port or starboard after 10 to 120 seconds. We didn't discover why, but the compass is calibrated thru autopilot software, so I don't understand, but I would like to try with another compass.
Thanks
