PROPILOT 700

3.2 Rudder Ratio
The Rudder Ratio setting is used primarily to match rudder
movement to boat speed. Generally the higher the speed, the lower
the setting needs to be.
If the setting is too low the vessel will understeer and tend to drift
off course to one side.
If the setting is too high the vessel will oversteer and build up
oscillations from side to side.

If NMEA Speed information is connected to the Pilot Computer,
the ProPilot 700 can be configured to automatically adjust the
Rudder Ratio setting in relation to the vessel’s speed, see section
7.7.
To Adjust the Rudder Ratio Setting
rU 5 Sea State Adjustment menu system, press the ADJ key repeatedly
until "rU" is displayed. Change the setting by using the or
keys.
The range is from 0 (No Rudder) to 20 (Maximum Rudder).
