    Autohelm Autohelm Autohelm Autohelm 7. Service visit to a vessel. When a service visit to a vessel is made the most common fault en-countered is likely to be poor connections or inadequate power supplies. These should be thoroughly checked before the Service visit diagnostic procedure is carried out. When trying to locate a fault it should be remembered that most failures will occur in the Course Computer with the Control Units as the next most likely.
