at the port Hard-over limit that was set during the Rudder Drive
Test.

takes for the rudder to travel all the way to the starboard Hard-
over limit. This is the Hard-over to Hard-over time.

your ComNav dealer or the factory for advice. Once you have
adjusted the steering system for correct Hard-over to Hard-over
timing, perform a RESET and redo your Rudder Drive Test.
