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 AP300X 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:
Motor OK
