Counter rudder is the parameter that counteracts the effect of
the boat’s turn rate and inertia. It is superimposed on the normal
rudder response as provided by the rudder parameter. It may
sometimes appear as if the autopilot tends to make the rudder
move in the opposite direction of the turn (counter rudder).
The figures illustrate the effects of various Counter rudder
settings.
Range: 0.05 to 8.00.

taking the boat through a number of S-turns.
