Selecting the method of entering the parameter
The NAVpilot-500 has an automatic adjustment feature which sets up the equipment
according to ship’s characteristics and sea state for optimum performance in the AUTO and
NAV modes. In addition, a self-learning algorithm is incorporated: Parameters for rudder
ratio, counter rudder and auto trim gains are constantly optimized based on the steering
history of your boat, and are stored in memory for future navigation.
You choose how the NAVpilot-500 will steer the vessel, (manual or automatic sea state
parameter adjustment) as follows:
1. Rotate the course control knob to select “SEA STATE” from the PARAMETER SETUP
menu.
2. Press the course control knob to show the sea state options window.
