5 Commissioning the Autopilot
Adjust the rudder damping
Note: You only need to adjust the rudder damping value if the
autopilot ‘hunts’ when trying to position the rudder. Increasing the
rudder damping value reduces hunting.
To adjust the rudder damping:
1. Use the
AUTO key to page through the Calibration screens until
you reach the Rudder Damping screen (
rUd dPG).
2. Use the
▲ (NAV) or ▼ (LIGHTS) key or course change knob to
adjust the rudder damping:
• increase the damping one level at a time until the autopilot
stops hunting, and always use the lowest acceptable value
Save the new settings
When you have adjusted these basic settings in Dealer Calibration:
• press and hold
STBY for two seconds to store the changes
• the screen will then show the
STANDBY screen
