Chapter 6: Adjusting Autopilot Settings 71
6 Adjusting Autopilot Settings
knob to set the value to your boat’s current latitude, to the nearest
degree.
Note: If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the
autopilot will use this data instead of the calibration value.
WindTrim (wind response) (unE tC)
Note: Only available if vessel type = 1 (displacement) on Type
100/300.
WindTrim (wind response) controls how quickly the autopilot
responds to changes in the wind direction.
AutoRelease (I/O drives only) (AUt rLS)
Note: Only available if vessel type = 4 (Stern drive).
If the vessel type is set to
4 (I/O or stern drive), you will see the
AutoRelease screen
(AUt rLS) set to ON as a default. AutoRelease
provides emergency manual over-ride in situations when you need to
avoid an obstacle at the last moment.
Response level (rES)
This is the default response setting. The response level controls the
relationship between the autopilot’s course keeping accuracy and the
amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to
response during normal operation.
