Autopilot Setup | Triton Operation Manual
Sea state filter
The Seastate filter is used to reduce rudder activity and autopilot sensitivity in rough weather.
Off: Seastate filter is disabled. This is default.
Auto: Reduces rudder activity and autopilot sensitivity in rough weather by an
adaptive process. The Auto setting is recommended if you want to use the
Seastate filter.
Manual Linked to the Response control setting in the Main menu. It may be used to
manually find the optimum combination of course keeping and low rudder
activity in rough but steady sea conditions.
Sailing
Set how the Pilot will respond when it is set for use with a sail boat.
¼ Note: Sailing is only available in the menu if Boat type is set to Sail in the Installation menu
Tack time
When performing a tack in Wind mode, the rate of turn (tack time) can be adjusted. This will
give single-handed sailors time to handle the boat and the sails during a tack.
A turn performed without shifting wind side, will also be made at a controlled turn rate.
Range Change per step Default Units
2 - 50 1 12 Second
Tack angle
In Wind function Auto mode the set tack angle replaces a similar change of the set course
using the starboard and port keys.
Range Change per step Default Units
50 - 150 1 100 º
Wind function
With Wind function set to auto, the autopilot will automatically select between apparent and
true wind steering. Auto is default and recommended for cruising. When the boat is running,
it will also be surfing on the waves. This may lead to significant changes in boat speed, hence
changes in apparent wind angle. True wind steering is therefore used when running, while
steering to apparent wind is used when beating or reaching.
When sailing in closed waters, the apparent wind angle may change temporarily due to gusts.
It may then be preferred to sail to; select True.
Range Default
Auto - Apparent - True Auto
