Bennett "AutoTab" Control?
Has anyone tried this?
I bought one and have issues -- last I heard was that bennett was checking with the engineers and would get back to me "tomorrow" (that was last week) I'm having two issues with it. I'm hopeful the brain-trust here can come up with a solution. Issue 1: pitch/roll The roll is spot on -- I can walk or redistribute weight and in a matter of seconds; the boat is re-trimmed to be flat. However, the pitch has a bow-down bias. In otherwords, it puts the tabs down to level the boat side-side, but never releases; so the result is the bow will end up getting stuffed down after a bit. Issue 2: canceling auto control the unit is supposed to auto-cancel when you manually adjust. This works fine, most of the time. It "learns" when it's at the end of the stroke -- ie: it tries to put it down more, doesn't sense an attitude change, so it stops trying after about a minute. Once it "gives up" trying; it won't auto-release from auto-control. ie: manually adjusting it should release it; but it doesn't -- you've got to power it off and back on in order to get it to release. Anyone have: A) any ideas B) similar problems Thanks -josh |
