Boat length
The boat length aff ects the steering parameters.
• Rang: 5 - 500 (m)
Cruising speed
The cruising speed is used if no speed info is available, and if manual speed is set to Auto.
It is also used by the autopilot system to calculate steering parameters.
• Rang: 2 - 50 (kn)
• Default: 15 (kn)
Transition speed
Note: Only available if the boat type is set to planing.
The transition speed is the speed at which the system automatically changes from LOW to
HIGH work profi le.
These two work profi les are automatically defi ned when you set the boat profi le to planing.
The work profi les are set up with high and low speed parameters to control the diff erent
steering characteristics before and after planing.
On power boats it is recommended that you set a value that represents the speed where the
hull begins to plane or the speed where you change from slow to cruising speed.
Transition to HI work profi le with
increasing speed: 10 kn
Transition speed set to 9 kn
Transition to LO work profi le
with decreasing speed: 8 kn
HI work profi le
LO work profi le
• Rang: OFF - 40 (kn)
• Default: OFF
Thruster inhibit speed
This feature will block the thruster from running above a set vessel speed. It is a safety feature
to prevent, especially electrical on/off thrusters, from overheating if out of water or for
instance a planing boat or in rough weather.
When the speed exceed the set limit the truster indication will change as shown below.
