The correct Trim adjustment setting for these types of vessel is
therefore best found by experience.
To check the Trim adjustment with twin engine vessels, run the
boat under ProPilot 700 command with both engines running, then
close down one engine. The vessel will initially go off course but
should return to course in less than 60 seconds. If the vessel takes a
longer period of time to return to course then increase the value set
for Trim.
Press the ADJ key, "tr" is displayed.
Change the setting by using the or keys.
The range is from 0 (No Trim) to 20 (Maximum Trim).
7.4 Navigator Gain
NG If your ProPilot 700 is working with a Navigator, adjustment of
Navigator Gain will be available, which is the trim setting which
the navigator will use. The speed of the vessel affects the Navigator
Gain, high speed requires less Navigator Gain and slow speed
requires higher Navigator Gain.
Set the navigator’s output data to minimum damping (1 second
intervals) and set the Navigator Gain to 5 (this is suitable for most
applications).
If this is set too high the pilot will trim the vessel’s course too
much causing the vessel to oversteer either side of the desired track.
If the Navigator Gain is set too low the vessel is pushed off track,
the pilot will not bring the vessel to the desired track “}{00”.
Press the ADJ key, "NG" is displayed.
Change the setting by using the or keys.
The range is from 0 (No Gain) to 9 (Maximum Gain).
