settings
• Check the effect of the Response adjust
• Set waypoints into each navigator connected to the system, and
verify that the Pilot steers in Navigation mode for each Navigation
source
• If the boat is a sailboat use the Wind mode and engage the Pilot at
different wind angles.
• If the rudder response feels aggressive during the sea trial, you may
want to reduce the rudder speed to get a smoother steering. On a
sailboat you may want to have a higher rudder speed when running
downwind.
• The motor Drive Out can be set with the above in mind. Never
adjust in more than 10% steps with respect to the reading set during
the automatic rudder test. Always perform a new Autotune after the
adjustment.
