Greased the connectors. Changed battery in remote. Reset co-pilot. It worked.
However, I noticed some corrosion on the TM power plug. I had just cleaned and greased the power connectors in April. Prob the cheap connector plug that came with the Tracker. Female plug I got at Wal Mart still shiny. I don't know the material the large pins are made from (with, of), but it sure nuf ain't gold (flash).
I just wonder if this nasty connector is not the root of the evil doings?

Tom, use this type plug. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...=SearchResults They lock in place and are waterproof. I've never had a corrosion problem with one.
Ok. I just ordered one of them.Quote:

What can you tell me about resetting an autopilot...I've got an older model riptide and this last trip it was real bad about spinning...will resetting help that problem????
I was resetting the co-pilot. I don't believe the autopilot is resettable unless you unplug power to the unit.Quote:

I would love to get the instructions for re-calibrating...I wouldn't think it's the 5 degree thing since I haven't had this kind of trouble before....I'm hoping it isn't a bad compass!!!
The connector just arrived. Looks good. I like the O-ring seal.Quote:
