Rudder Offset

You only need to set this option if your system includes a rudder
reference unit.

• Manually place the helm in a central position. The reported rudder

angle is indicated on the rudder bar graphic at the bottom of the
screen.

• Adjust the offset value, using the

+1 and -1 keys, until the rudder

position is shown as central on the rudder bar. The offset must be
within the range -7° to +7°.

Range:

–7° to +7°

Default:

Rudder Limit

Rudder Limit restricts autopilot rudder movement to just less than the
steering systems mechanical stops. This avoids putting the steering
system under unnecessary load.

Default:

30°

30°

30°

Turn Limit

This limits the rate of turn of your vessel when making a course change
under autopilot control. The value must be within the range 5 to 20°.
For sailboat applications it should be set to 20°.
