It seems I have a similar problem. However, I have these symptoms after some time. If I need to report it in a new post, please let me know.
I have the same setup, openplotter 1.2 and not ready to upgrade to 2 until it has all the features I need. By the way, I've done a clean install of 1.2 so there is no clutter.
About my autopilot problem:
All runs fine directly after boot-up, but after some time both OpenCPN and the webclient cannot find the Arduino.
Webclient SignalK connection is OK, but cannot find the motor controller.
In my case, also re-assigning the autopilot in serial connection fixes it, or rebooting the pi entirely.
I've even went so far as to try different Arduino's and different models (uno, nano) and all have the same behaviour.
I've tried the commands from your suggestion, but they report:
Not sure what to do here, and how to get it stable again.
