Activate the AUTOTUNE, by rotating the course knob
clockwise. The display will flash “Automatic tuning”.
After the Autotune has been completed the rudder must be
controlled manually, as the mode is returned to STBY.
When the Autotune has been completed, there should normally
be no need for further adjustments. On certain installations,
however, you may want to "fine tune" the parameters after the
Autotune due to the special steering characteristic of a specific
boat. Viewing or changing the Autotune parameters are done
from within the VIEW PARAMETERS menu item.
Exit the Seatrial menu by pushing STBD [>] button to proceed to
the Parameters menu, or press STBY to return to normal
autopilot operation.
