The display will alternate between Center Rudder and current rudder angle
as long as the rudder is more than 10° out of midship.
Automatic Rudder Test
Note ! Move the rudder manually to midship position before starting the test. It is
important also that if the boat uses power assist steering, that the engine or
electric motor used to enable the power assist steering be turned on prior to
this test. Stand CLEAR of the wheel and do not attempt to take manual
control of the wheel during this test!
Activate the automatic rudder test by turning the course selector clockwise.
The AP35 will issue a series of PORT and STBD rudder commands and
automatically verify correct motor direction, and reduce the rudder speed if
it exceeds the maximum acceptable speed for autopilot operation.
When test is finished the display will read:
