Adjusting the sensitivity in monitoring the boat’s trim
The NAVpilot-500 continually monitors the boat’s trim in order to keep the trim sensitivity
optimum. A lower setting is common because boat’s trim usually does not change quickly. A
large number changes the trim compensation value more frequently. Too high a setting may
result in the following problems.
• Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and starboard
directions alternately.
• Trim compensation mechanism responds to the yawing, resulting in more serious
oscillation of ship’s heading.
To set the auto trim sensitivity:
1. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to select AUTO TRIM from the PARAMETER SETUP menu.
2. Press the [ENTER] knob to show the auto trim options window.

SETUP menu.)
