Hi all. I purchased my first boat this past spring and got a Minn-Kota motor with the auto-pilot. For the most part I love it and couldn't imagine having a trolling motor that didn't have the auto-pilot. However, from the time I got it every now and then it would do a 360 degree spin. My best guess is that the autopilot "smarts" figures out that it needs to turn 2 degrees to the left, but instead it turns 358 degrees to the right. This behavior has been pretty sporadic until last night. At times it was doing this constantly and I finally had to turn off the auto-pilot.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a simple solution? Is anyone familiar with minnkota waranties?
