A followup on my new raymarine SP X-5. Installation was easy. Did not get a chance to sail in really challenging condition, but already an issue:
The autopilot seems to loose progressively its notion of the rudder position. After 5-10 mn in condition with moderate weather helm:
1. Rudder display shows max Starb. or Port.
2. Pilot stops correcting and after one (two?) minute in that state issues a beep stating it can not helm...

And all this while the helm is mostly centered... ;-) toggling to standby and back to auto reinit the rudder display and out the pilot back work for the next 10 mn... still not good...

E-mailed Raymarine 2 days ago. still waiting for an answer. will followup with their answer - but any feedback is more than welcome...
Cheers,
