To in
crease Rudder sensitivity:
Press the Set Key. The display will show
[FASt] for five seconds. During this five
second interval, press the Set Key again and
the Autopilot will display the Rudder
sensitivity setting.
Press the Green Key once to increase the
Rudder sensitivity setting one step.
If the vessel continues to fall away from its
course, repeat the steps above.
To decrease Counter-Rudder sensitivity:
Press the Set Key. The display will show
[FASt] for five seconds. During the five
second interval, press the Set Key two more
times to display the Counter-Rudder
sensitivity setting.
Wait for half a minute to let the vessel settle.
To see how straight a course the autopilot is
steering, watch the wake of your vessel
behind you. If the new setting is still not
suitable, repeat the instructions above.
Repeat until your vessel is steering well.
Fast Speed Turns and Course
Changes
Your vessel will respond more quickly to a
Red or Green Key press than it did in the
“slow” speed Rudder Response setting. The
rate of turn in the “fast” boat speed setting is
10º per second. Experiment with this so that
you will be familiar with its effect.
All commands in the fast boat speed Rudder
Response setting work as they did in the slow
speed Rudder Response setting.
A table of Autopilot commands is on page 73.
