Transition Speed

The transition speed is the speed where the AP25 will
automatically change the steering parameter set from HI to LO
parameters, or vice versa (page 22).
The default setting of transition speed is 5 kts.
It is recommended that you set the transition speed to a speed
that represents the speed where the hull begins to plane, or the
speed where you change from slow to cruising speed.
The speed used for the automatic transition is obtained with the
following priority:
1. Speed through water from the speed log source.
2. Speed Over Ground (SOG) from the GPS/Chartplotter.
If no speed data is available, manual speed selection is required.
See also chapters 2.9 and 2.10.

Rotate the course dial
clockwise until the transition
speed is set to the desired
value in knots.
Range: OFF – 30 knots
Default: 5 knots

Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD button.

course knob.
Range: Soft - Firm
Default: Soft
