Speed Source Settings On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Speed Source Setup. On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Speed Source Setup. Speed Source: Allows you to select the speed source. Verify Tachometer: Allows you to compare the RPM readings on the helm control or chartplotter with the tachometers on the dashboard of your boat. Planing RPM: Allows you to adjust the RPM reading on the helm control or chartplotter at the point when your boat transitions from displacement to planing speed. If the value does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter, you can adjust the value. Low RPM Limit: Allows you to adjust the lowest RPM point of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter, you can adjust the value. High RPM Limit: Allows you to adjust the highest RPM point of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter, you can adjust the value. Planing Speed: Allows you to adjust the planing speed of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter, you can adjust the value. Max. Speed: Allows you to adjust the maximum speed of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter, you can adjust the value. Rudder Gain Settings NOTE: If you set these values too high or too low, the autopilot may become overactive, attempting to constantly adjust the heading at the slightest deviation. An overactive autopilot can cause excess wear on the pump and drain the battery at a faster-than-normal rate. On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Rudder Gains. On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Rudder Gains. NOTE: These settings apply only to displacement-hull powerboats and powerboats with the speed source set to None. Gain: Allows you to adjust how tightly the rudder holds a heading and makes turns. Counter Gain: Allows you to adjust how tightly the rudder corrects turn overshoot. If you set this value too low, the autopilot can overshoot a turn when attempting to counter the original turn. NOTE: These settings apply only to planing-hull powerboats with the speed source set to Tachometer - NMEA 2000, Tachometer, or GPS. Low Speed: Allows you to set the rudder gain for low speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates below planing speed. Low Speed Counter: Allows you to set the rudder gain countercorrection for low speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates below planing speed. High Speed: Allows you to set the rudder gain for high speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates above planing speed. High Speed Counter: Allows you to set the rudder gain countercorrection for high speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates above planing speed. Verify Steering Dir. or Steering Dir.: Sets the direction the rudder must move to turn the vessel to port and to starboard. You can test and reverse the steering direction if necessary. Tightens or loosens the steering. The higher you set the linkage compensation value, the more the autopilot will compensate for loose steering. Lock-to-Lock Turns or Lock to Lock: Sets the number of turns it takes to turn the steering wheel from one stop to the other. Helm Displacement or Helm Displace.: Sets the helm displacement value for the hydraulic steering system. The value is typically written on the helm, near the hydraulic connectors. © 2017 Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries Garmin® and the Garmin logo are trademarks of Garmin Ltd. or its subsidiaries, registered in the USA and other countries.

transitions from displacement to planing speed. If the value
does not match the value on the helm control or chartplotter,
you can adjust the value.
