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, 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, 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. Select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Rudder Gains. NOTE: These settings apply only to sailboats, 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 Tach. - NMEA 2000 or Proprietary 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. Steering System Settings To open the steering system settings, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Steering System Setup. Verify Steering Dir.: Allows you to set 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. Rudder Sensor Settings NOTE: Rudder sensor settings apply only when a rudder sensor is connected to the autopilot system. To open the rudder sensor settings, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Steering System Setup > Rudder Sensor Setup. Max. Port Angle: Allows you to enter the angle at which your rudder turns furthest port. Max. Starboard Angle: Allows you to enter the angle at which your rudder turns furthest starboard. Calibrate Rudder Sensor: Initiates a procedure that establishes the maximum range of movement of the rudder and calibrates the rudder-position sensor. If an error appears during the calibration, the rudder-position sensor has likely reached its limit. The sensor might not be correctly installed. If the problem persists, you can bypass this error by moving the rudder to the farthest position that does not report an error. Calibrate Rudder Center: Initiates a procedure that establishes the center position of the rudder. You can use this calibration if the on-screen rudder position indicator does not match the true rudder center on your boat.
