Trim gain
Note: [TRIM GAIN] is not shown in case of Fantum Feedback
TM
.
The NAVpilot continually monitors the boat's trim in order to keep the trim sensitivity opti-
mum. A lower setting is common because boat's trim usually does not change quickly. A
large number changes the trim compensation value more frequently. Too high of a setting
may result in the following problems.
• Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and starboard
directions alternately.
• Trim compensation mechanism responds to the yawing, resulting in more serious oscil-
lation of ship's heading.

1. Rotate the knob to select [TRIM GAIN] from the [PARAMETER SETUP] menu.
