It would help if you told us what brand and model, and how much
wandering are you talking about?

I assume you've gone through the manual looking at all of the
adjustments possible. My Autohelm 4000+ wanders a bit in rough seas -
it has rudder sensitivity adjustments, although only two settings are
possible (response levels 1&2) without going in the setup mode.

If you're talking about major wandering, check out the compass. On my
old boat I put the compass under the forward cabin. However, my boat
shoes have a metal shank, so if I walked in the cabin (or if a shoe was
rolling around) the boat would suddenly veer off course.

A friend had a worse case of that - workmen unmount the compass and left
it lying in the bilge. On their first long trip the compass started
rolling around, cause the boat to do spontaneously do circles!
