Auto rudder limit
Auto rudder limit determines the maximum rudder movement in degrees from the mid po-
sition in the Auto, Nav, Turn, FishHunter
TM
, Dodge and Wind modes. The value set here
should not be greater than the limit set for Rudder Limit.
22.Go back to the [DOCKSIDE SETUP] menu, select [AUTO RUDDER LIMIT:] then push
the knob. The current value is circumscribed with a double rectangle.
23.Rotate the knob to set the rudder limit desired then push the knob. (Setting range: 10
°
to max. rudder limit)
Manual rudder limit
In the Remote (FU and NU), FU Dodge or NFU Dodge modes, usually a wide range of
rudder angles are used, and therefore a larger number should be entered. However, the
setting must not exceed the rudder limit angle which is inherent on your boat.
Do not set the limit higher than the rudder limit. It is recommended to set the manual rud-
der limit equal to or greater than the auto rudder limit. If the manual rudder limit is set lower
than the auto one, the rudder may be returned to center position too quickly when the ves-
sel is doing automatic turning by operation from the remote controller or DODGE key.
24.Go back to the [DOCKSIDE SETUP] menu and select [MANUAL RUDDER LIMIT:]
then push the knob. The current value is circumscribed with a double rectangle.
25.Rotate the knob to set the rudder limit desired then push the knob. (Setting range: 10
°
to max. rudder limit)
Rudder test
For power steering vessels with an engine driven power steering pump, the engines must
be running and slightly above idle before this test is done. BEFORE doing this test, check
that [RUDDER DEADBAND] in the [SEA TRIAL] menu is set to [AUTO].
