information is available in the diagrams detailing remote unit operation and
connections on pages 20 and 43
2. If your vessel requires counter-rudder* while steering in auto mode, you may
wish to set the counter rudder control to "1" (ie: disabled) while using power-

* Refer to Counter Rudder settings on page 16
