What
is
it?
Provides
the
user
a
simple
control
to
trade
off
course
keeping
performance
vs.
power
use.
What
does
it
do?
Adjusts
the
settings
of
multiple
functions
(deadbands,
gain,
velocity
control
etc.)
to
increase
course
keeping
performance
as
the
response
level
is
increased
from
Perf
1
up
to
Perf
5.
Think
of
it
as
a
volume
control:
loud
and
powerful?
or
quiet
and
economic?
Typically,
a
user
should
run
the
lowest
Response
level
they
are
happy
with.

Notes
Setting
the
Response
level
too
high
can
be
counter
‐
productive
‐
the
rudder
will
be
adjusted
all
the
time
for
minor
course
errors,
consuming
a
lot
of
power
and
putting
unnecessary
wear
and
strain
on
steering
components.
The
user
may
choose
to
use
the
Auto
Response
feature
to
allow
the
Pilot
to
increase
(but
not
decrease)
the
user
set
response
level
based
on
measured
course
keeping
performance
(see
Auto
Response).

Conditions
dependent.
Response
mode
should
be
adjusted
based
on
wind
conditions
(strength
and
stability)
and
sea
state
(flat
vs.
rough).
In
stable
winds
on
flat
water
you
should
be
able
to
run
the
minimum
level.
Note
that
Perf
3
has
good
all
‐
round
performance,
though
you
will
likely
use
Perf
4
or
Perf
5
in
the
more
serious
conditions.
Do
not
be
afraid
to
use
Perf
1
,
this
setting
provides
good
steering
in
all
non
‐
extreme
conditions.
