In this video, Captain Pedro shares a diagnostic secret that he learned from Garmin Marine Support while dealing with an extensive issue dealing with Gamin heading sensor problems aboard his boat.
We experienced issues with our Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot and we could not land on the issue. Like many people, we went through numerous heading sensor calibration and autopilot settings changes and it did not fix the issue. We thought we had Garmin autopilot pump problems because when we tried to complete the Garmin autopilot calibration (Sea Trial Wizard) the boat would only turn in one direction. After replacing the Garmin autopilot pump, we continued with the same issue.
We reached out to Garmin Marine Support and they gave us one thing to complete for out autopilot troubleshooting. This one step went right to the source of the issue. The issue that we had on our vessel was the Garmin heading sensor location.
We were able to relocate the heading sensor and complete the calibration steps and now it is working perfectly. We went through weeks of issues trying to land on the root cause of our issues and we want to share this secret step so that if you currently have a Garmin Marine autopilot or if you are currently Going through a Garmin Marine autopilot installation that you ensure to check this first before you complete your Garmin Marine heading sensor install. This step will take you a couple of minutes but it will save you a ton of headaches in the future!

Nice find. I have the same GHC20 and you are correct about magnetic interface. Thanks for sharing.

@pescatarianfishing Год назад

Thanks for the support. I wish I new this from Garmin when we had the autopilot installed. Hoping this video will save some people the headaches I went through. 🤙

Excellent! I’m about to install my new garmin autopilot and this will help! Thanks

@pescatarianfishing 4 месяца назад

I would run this check before you screw in the heading sensor. We went through some major headaches with our autopilot after 4 years of being installed and no one could figure out the problem. After we spoke to Garmin support and they explained this to me and I verified that my sensor if 4 years was deteriorating where it was placed, we decided to teach everyone this because I’m certain that the majority of the boats out there have this same issue and the owners don’t know it. If we would have replaced the heading sensor it would have worked for a while and then had the same problem. Glad to be able to help!

You are a huge help!!! I’m new to autopilot and I would have been going crazy trying to figure it out if I put it in the wrong place! Thank you for the guidance. Look forward to more videos

Will that number change as I move the CCU to different locations?

@pescatarianfishing 2 месяца назад

It should. I didn’t move mine on. I unscrewed it and placed a zip tie on it in a new location then powered on the system to check it and it was drastically better.

@mahmoudq8598 8 месяцев назад

I have number 63%Is this good or do I need to change the location?

@pescatarianfishing 8 месяцев назад

63% is pretty low. I would highly recommend moving it inside your console to a location where it is away from electronics and batteries. We went through hell with ours when it started failing and no one could figure out was the issue was until I personally reached out to Garmin and they taught me this. We had ours mounted inside the console but it was too close to the batteries. We simply unscrewed it and moved it to the front wall of the console and reached a score of 90% and after we calibrated it again, It worked perfectly and I didn’t have to order a new one. Once you move it, you will need to recalibrate it again but it’s super easy. We have a video on that in our Garmin series playlist.

What about ghc50?

@pescatarianfishing 4 месяца назад

Im not sure if it is the same on the GHC 50. We run the 40 on our boat. They might not have changed it from the 40 to the 50.

@NomadNo 4 месяца назад

@@pescatarianfishing the 50 doesn't have physical buttons, thats the problem. Cant find this menu anywhere. From your video looks like that menu shows you a live updating score of the magnetic environment? Meaning you could go to that menu and move the compass box around and look at the changes? This way you dont need to run the sea trial test again and again? Am i understanding this right?

@pescatarianfishing 4 месяца назад

@NomadNo that is correct. It is a live score so when you move the sensor it updates. That’s how I was able to move mine and determine that the new location is good. Prior to that, I must have completed 5 or 6 sea trials and nothing was fixing it. I would suggest to call Garmin support and let them know that you want to check the magnetic environment for your sensor and they will be able to walk you through it for your unit. That will save you a ton of headaches.
