Rudder Offset
You only need to set this option if your system includes a rudder
reference unit.
• Manually place the helm in a central position. The reported rudder
angle is indicated on the rudder bar graphic at the bottom of the
screen.
• Adjust the offset value, using the +1 and -1 keys, until the rudder
position is shown as central on the rudder bar. The offset must be
within the range -7° to +7°.
Range: –7° to +7°
Default: 0°
Rudder Limit
Rudder Limit restricts autopilot rudder movement to just less than the
steering systems mechanical stops. This avoids putting the steering
system under unnecessary load.
Range: 15° to 40°
Default: for Pilot Type Displacement 30°
for Pilot Type Semi-Displacement 30°
for Pilot Type Planing 30°
for Pilot Type Stern drive 20°
Turn Limit
This limits the rate of turn of your vessel when making a course change
under autopilot control. The value must be within the range 5 to 20°.
For sailboat applications it should be set to 20°.
