Level LV3 Only Boat Mode BOAT-MODE
DEFINITIONS:
•
Boat mode: Set ups to fit specific needs of boat models rather than cars.
•
TRG-BRK: Trigger-Brake operation. Shuts off brake side of servo movement for
boats without braking/reverse.
•
Tilt Mixing: adjusts outboard engine positioning with rudder inputs, and adjusts
rudder with outboard engine adjustments.
•
Channel 1 > 3: mix from steering (rudder) to outboard. Utilized when the
boat drops too much (or too little) into the water when giving rudder input.
•
Channel 3 > 1: mixing from outboard to steering (rudder). Utilized
when the torque of the engine has more effect as the boat’s position
changes in the water, causing the boat to yaw left under acceleration.
AVAILABLE FOR: N/A
ADJUSTABILITY:
•
TRG-BRK: Normal (brake operates); cut-off (no brake/reverse operation).
•
CH 1>3 and CH 3>1: -100% (moves exactly opposite) to 0 (no mix) to +100% (moves exactly the same as master.)
INTERACTIONS:
•
EPA, steering expo, speed, dual rate, etc., all affect the 3rd channel (master mixing is on and can not be set to off.)
•
Reversing the channel 1 servo does NOT reverse the channel 3 servo.
DESIRED END RESULT: Keep outboard-powered boat up on its step and traveling straight at high speeds/rapid
acceleration, and adjust the boat’s angle in the water for ideal turning with minimum drag.
CAUTION: Remember, EPA of channel 1 affects channel 3, so check for binding after all changes.
GOAL:
Set up an outboard boat’s engine tilt to set
the boat lower in the water when turning
for better “bite,” while using
LV3. (If using
LV1 or LV2, first select level LV3, see p. 12.)
Where Next:
STEPS:
Open and select menu 2.
Select BOAT-MODE.
Turn off brake function.
Activate tilt mixing.
Adjust channel 3 to 1 (outboard to steering)
mixing to 0 (disabling it).
Decrease rudder-to-outboard to 20%.
Close function and menu.
INPUTS:
to CUT OFF.
to ON.
to 0.
to 20.
Adjust the throttle servo’s EPA ( EPA): See p. 18.
Adjust channel 3’s center point ( CH3-POSI): See p. 40.
Change channel 3’s control ( FUNC-DIAL): See pp. 34-35.
Assign channel 3 to 1 mixing to a dial to adjust while in use ( FUNC-DIAL): See pp. 34-35.
Set up engine cut ( AT-START): See p. 28.
Set up steering dual rates ( ST-D/R): See p. 38.
