Onwa Marine Electronics KAP-866 - Manual (Page 16)

2.1.2 Set Trim
There are circumstances in which the autopilot may set the rudder in the centre
(according to its feedback unit)But the vessel does not steer straight ahead.
Reasons for this are:
1. The rudder may not be perfectly aligned.
2. There may be a side-wind, current, net drag, etc, which causes the vessel to
steer to one side.
KAP-866 can compensate for these errors, but may take a few minutes to core
completely. Adjusting the "SET TRIM" can eliminate these Errors immediately.
To find the correct trim setting:
With the vessel Travelling ahead, switch the autopilot to "Standby" mode.
Adjust the trim control until the ship steers straight.
The SET TRIM is not intended to be used for adjusting the vessel course in
"Auto" or "F-UP" steer mode.
