2. Turn the boat in one direction using the autopilot and observe the behavior. The boat should turn smoothly, not too quickly or too slowly. When you turn the boat using the autopilot, the boat should approach and settle on the desired heading with minimal overshoot and oscillation. 3. Select an option: • If the boat turns too quickly or too sluggishly, adjust the autopilot acceleration limiter (page 13). • If the heading hold oscillates significantly or the boat does not correct when turning, adjust the autopilot gain (page 13). • If the boat turns smoothly, the heading hold oscillates only slightly or not at all, and the boat adjusts the heading correctly, proceed to step 5. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the boat turns smoothly the heading hold oscillates only slightly or not at all, and the boat adjusts the heading correctly. 5. For planing vessels, repeat steps 1-4 at faster speeds (page 13). Adjusting the Acceleration Limiter Settings NOTE: When you manually adjust the acceleration limiter, make relatively small adjustments. Test the change before making additional adjustments. 1. Turn on the GHP 20 using the advanced configuration procedure (page 13). 2. On the GHC 20, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Configuration > Autopilot Tuning > Acceleration Limiter. 3. Select an option: • Increase the setting if the autopilot turns too quickly, • Decrease the setting if the autopilot turns too slowly. 4. Test the autopilot configuration. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the GHP 20 performance is satisfactory. Adjusting the Autopilot Gain Settings NOTE: When you manually adjust the rudder gain (or counter gain), make relatively small adjustments, and adjust only one value at a time. Test the change before making additional adjustments. 1. Enable the advanced configuration procedure (page 13). 2. On the GHC 20, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Configuration > Autopilot Tuning > Rudder Gains. 3. Select an option: • Select Low Speed or High Speed and use the arrows on the GHC 20 to adjust how tightly the rudder holds the heading and makes turns at low speed or high speed. If you set this value too high, the autopilot may be overactive, attempting to constantly adjust the heading at the slightest deviation. An overactive autopilot can cause excess wear and tear on the drive unit, and drains the battery at a faster-thannormal rate. • Select Low Speed Counter or High Speed Counter to adjust how tightly the rudder corrects the turn overshoot. If you set this value too high, the autopilot can overshoot the turn again when attempting to counter the original turn. 4. Test the autopilot configuration. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the GHP 20 performance is satisfactory. Advanced Configuration Procedure Advanced configuration options are not available on the GHC 20 under normal conditions.
