B&G Triton Display Installation Manual

Note:

The two most important parameters that determine the

performance of the automatic steering are Rudder Gain and Counter
Rudder.

Rudder

Sets the rudder gain which is the ratio between the commanded
angle and the heading error.

Too little

rudder

Set

Course

Too much

rudder

Set

Course

•

Too little Rudder and the autopilot fails to keep a steady course

•

Too much Rudder gives unstable steering and reduces speed

•

Low speed requires more rudder than high speed
