  2. Guys I think that slop you are feeling is the play in the servo motor not your actual steering.Most servo motors have a "dead spot" when they aren't in use and when they are idle they will "free wheel" for a fraction of a second until the wheel is moving and creating an electrical current.  That electrical current is the added felt resistance in your steering with the autopilot off.

    I run a 2 yr old spx-5r model on a cable steered boat and have had issues with the stiffness of the wheel when it is in "standby" mode after the unit has run for a couple of hours. While the wheel is always stiff with the AP installed, it becomes a real chore after the unit has been running for a couple of hours. Had the steering checked and, with the AP unit removed you can steer with a couple of fingers.   I was told it was probably installed "too tight". Well there is only the unit and the stub shaft to tighten and these were done with a torque wrench. has anyone else had this problem ? if so, how was it corrected ?
