Note: 

Manyboatshave±45°(90°H.O.-H.O.)rudderangleas

standard. So if you are not going to make any adjustment to the 

displayed angle you should still highlight the reading and confi rm. 

This is necessary to prevent the rudder from hitting the end stops.

Set Rudder to 0 (zero) 

Bring the rudder to midship position and confi rm. This will adjust an 

incorrect reading caused by misalignment of the rudder feedback 

unit.
