1) I had some work done on the AP over the winter. They replaced the main processing unit, so I have no idea why the hydraulic connection has been loosened. Once reseated and torqued down with a wrench I've had no issues in 30+ hours of operation.

2) Clarification.....We had been towing the whaler. We stop outside an anchorage or mooring field, she jumps in and then follows in behind me. Once I've picked up the mooring ball, or anchored, she brings the whaler over to the boat.
