Setting the Power Saver
You can adjust the level of rudder activity.
1 From the autopilot screen, select Options > Autopilot Setup > Power Mode Setup > Power Saver.
2 Select a percentage.
Selecting a higher percentage reduces rudder activity and heading performance. The higher the percentage,
the more the course deviates before the autopilot corrects it.
TIP: In choppy conditions at low speeds, increasing the Power Saver percentage reduces rudder activity.
