Colin, What type of switch did you use to switch over all the wiring from one computer to another? There must be at least a dozen wires.
The A/B switch just switches over the drives and the clutches. Not the computers, fluxgate compass, or rudder reference transducer.
I keep my spare course computer , fluxgate compass, and rudder reference computer under my bunk disconnected. It only takes 15 minutes to change over the computer, compass, or rudder reference transducer. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite

Next to the other one in the compartment above the sink. Copied the many other Amels that have it there with a flick over Autopilot A and B switch alongside.

Firstly Seasons greetings to the wonderful Amel family out there.
We are keen to find out where your 2nd auto-pilot fluxgate compasses have been located on other Super Maramu's who have the second autopilot fitted.
We had previously fitted a 2nd new pilot and placed the fluxgate under the main bed in the rear cabin but have just pulled it out today as we could never swing and calibrate the 2nd pilot correctly with the fluxgate in that position being so close to the rudder stock etc.
We have it out now and were about to place it in the main saloon next to the aircon duct and other original fluxgate for autopilot 1 but thought it worth asking the group for your comments, experiences with the placement of the 2nd auto pilot fluxgate?
