Autotrim
Autotrim standard value is 40 seconds which should work well on most boats.
Rule of thumb: Set to same value (seconds) as the boat’s length in feet.
¼ Note: On boats operating on VRF it is set to 20 seconds as default.
Rate limit
Should be kept at 6.0°/second unless there is a need for more rapid response in turns.
Minimum rudder
Some boats may have a tendency to not respond to small rudder commands around a set
course because of a small rudder, rudder deadband or Whirls/disturbance of the water-stream
passing the rudder. Turning the Minimum Rudder function on, may improve the course
keeping performance on some boats, but will increase the rudder activity.
Range Change per step Default Units
Off - 5 0.1 Off º
¼ Note: During the sea trial, only set Minimum Rudder to ON if it proves to give a better course
keeping performance in calm sea. It should be set after the Autotune has been performed
and a possible fine tune of the Rudder parameter.
Minimum wind angle Port / Starboard
The Minimum wind angle is the apparent wind angle that the boat sails to when close hauled.
This parameter will vary from boat to boat.
