Verify the Hi/Lo transition and the effect of Lo and Hi parameter
settings
•
Check the effect of the Response adjust
•
Set waypoints into each navigator connected to the system, and
verify that the Pilot steers in Navigation mode for each Navigation
source
•
If the boat is a sailboat use the Wind mode and engage the Pilot at
different wind angles.
•
If the rudder response feels aggressive during the sea trial, you may
want to reduce the rudder speed to get a smoother steering. On a
sailboat you may want to have a higher rudder speed when running
downwind.

The motor Drive Out can be set with the above in mind. Never
adjust in more than 10% steps with respect to the reading set during
the automatic rudder test. Always perform a new Autotune after the
adjustment.
