I turned on my Garmin equipment today and it immediately launch the autopilot setup wizard. Not sure why it did this as there was no power disruption. I started through the wizard and got to a question asking for the "Helm Displacement" and it offers you a list of numbers like 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, etc. I read a bit about this online and it seems to be related to the steering pump. Presumably you can get this number from the back of the pump. Rather than dismantle the mirror in the head to get access to the back of the pump, I was wondering if folks happen to know this number for the steering pump on a C30.

Secondarily, any ideas why the Garmin would lose these settings in the first place?

Thanks

Hey Len,

The pump size should be 1.7, as far as why it went into seatrial wizard there are many factors that can go into this including updating Garmin products. Feel free to email me if you have anymore questions.

Thank you,

Thanks for the quick response Kevin.
 
How about the pump size for a 2014 C-28?
