some trouble when I shorted the the auto pilot wires while installing another piece of equipment. The auto pilot got confused and kind of ran home to mama. It started doing something similar to what you're describing. I called the company, "Comnav", and they walked me through a re-boot of the thing. I had to turn it on and off while holding the up arrow while making a 360 degree turn while standing on my head. Or something along those lines. You should call the company and have them tell you how to do a dockside set up as if it was a new install. They might have already had the same problem with someone else. No use in trying to re-invent the wheel. Good luck.
