I have a Course Setter 21 auto pilot by Benmar. Thanks to Sam here on the forum I now have an electronic set of manuals.
When I opened the enclosure I found the compass cylinder is filled with a fluid. I think the fluid is suppose to be there but I'm not 100% sure. The manual doesn't say anything about it but it does say that is should be mounted level. So I think the compass needs to float like a regular compass.
I have a theory on how the compass may be providing electronic signals to the auto pilot circuitry but before I dig any further I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this.
Anyone have experience with this model?
