2. PITCH CORRECTION:
The following two examples will explain how the Auto Glide makes Pitch Angle corrections while in PLANING
MODE.
NOTE:
ENGINE TRIM CAN SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE BOAT’S CURRENT PITCH POSITION COMPARED
TO THE AUTO GLIDE’S HOME PITCH DEFAULT POSITION. WHILE ON PLANE, MAKE SURE YOUR
ENGINE IS TRIMMED TO MATCH THE RUNNING SURFACE OF THE BOAT.
EXAMPLE 3A: BOAT’S CURRENT ROLL POSITION MATCHES THE AUTO GLIDE’S HOME ROLL
POSITION, BUT THE CURRENT PITCH POSITION IS ABOVE THE HOME PITCH DEFAULT POSITION.
This example is the exact opposite scenario as EXAMPLE 2A/B: When the boat’s CURRENT ROLL
POSITION matches the HOME ROLL DEFAULT POSTION, but your CURRENT PITCH POSITION is above
the Auto Glide’s HOME PITCH DEFAULT POSITION, the Vertical Crosshair LED Indicator will display how
far the boat’s bow is above the HOME PITCH DEFAULT POSITION
.
However, the green center LED will remain illuminated to indicate that the CURRENT HOME ROLL
POSITION still matches Auto Glide’s HOME ROLL DEFAULT POSITION.
