If the servo is not detected on /dev/ttyAMA0 (make sure motor controller is powered) then try disconnecting power to the motor controller and try with a usb cable. If this works, then you know the controller works but communication is bad. Otherwise likely the controller has a problem.

I just have RPi and motor controler, no NMEA device connected

indicates that the motor controller is working.
So it means the issue comes from communication betwen arduino and RPi and pypilot should work in USB connection.
Will try to found where the connection is lots and if USB working when back to the boat...
Thanks,

That line indicated it found the controller on /dev/ttyAMA0 which is not a usb port. It is the hardware serial port of the gpio pin header.
This is the normal port to use. It has the lowest latency and best reliability which is why I don't usually use a usb serial port for the motor controller.
