I have a FV 270 and I'm tired of the poor heading control. While operating in no wake zones the boat falls off and
is from one side to the other. All I want is an inexpensive heading controller that can be added to the helm.
I don't want the anything real fancy I just want to hold a heading so the thing will follow a straight line.

If it's any consolation, I've owned other boats with an AP and they all over steer to some extent. Mike
Thanks for the attempt at consoling me Mike.......it's just that during long periods of slow operation this thing gives me no relief. Thought a heading controller would keep me from sawing on the wheel and give me a few minutes of peace. All but one of my other single engine cruisers have performed the same.

Here's a link to a recent AP discussion on this forum. Hope that helps. Mike
