If you write directly to pypilot.conf it needs to be done when the autopilot is not running.
The maximum current for the regular controller is limited in software to around 20 amps, the limit should not be 18. You should decrease the max slew speed to very low values <10 to make the motor start slowly. This will greatly decrease the current spike at startup and help keep under the current limit.
The regular controller is not intended to work with motors that draw more than 7 or 8 amps because eventually it can overheat. You could try using relays, or try somehow to reduce current.
The hydraulic controller is intended for motors up to 20 amps but supports 40-60 amp in peaks. This controller can handle 3-4x the power but maybe I need a 30 amp version??
What hydraulic pump is this? Is your rudder very heavy?
