Configuring the GHC 10 User Settings Though the autopilot is configured for your boat during installation, you may find it necessary to adjust it slightly depending on sea conditions. You may also disable the Shadow Drive if you prefer. To access the user autopilot configuration, select Menu > Setup > User Autopilot Configuration. Shadow Drive™-disable or re-enable the Shadow Drive. Caution: On a GHP 10 autopilot system, if you disable the Shadow Drive, you will need to place the autopilot on standby (STBY) to manually control the helm. Use caution when disabling the Shadow Drive. On a GHP 10V autopilot system, if you disable the Shadow Drive, any adjustment to the helm completely disengages the autopilot. Shadow Drive Sensitivity-on a GHP 10 autopilot system, adjust this setting if the Shadow Drive is being tripped falsely or not activating properly. If the autopilot disengages while the helm is steady, decreasing this value may help. If the Shadow Drive does not disengage the autopilot correctly when you take the helm, increasing this value may help. This setting does not apply to a GHP 10V autopilot system. Sea State Filtering-adjust this setting to slow the heading response down and reduce rudder activity. Leave this setting at 0% under normal operating conditions, and increase it when operating the autopilot in choppy seas at low speeds. Increasing the Sea State Filtering setting in choppy conditions will save wear on your autopilot system. 14 GHC 10 Quick Start Manual
