Item Description Limits
Auto turn This setting defines the amount
of course change when
performing an auto turn.
Note: This option cannot
be changed when connected
over SeaTalk.
Note: This option is only
available on motor vessels.
• 10º — 125º
• 90º (default)
Response
level This sets the default SmartPilot
system response level setting.
The response level controls the
relationship between course
keeping accuracy and the
amount of helm/ drive activity.
You can make temporary
changes to response during
normal operation. • 1 — 9
• 5 (default)
• Level 1 — 3 Minimize the
amount of pilot activity.
This conserves power,
but may compromise
short-term course-keeping
accuracy.
• Level 4 — 6 Should give
good course keeping with
crisp, well controlled turns
under normal operating
conditions.
• Level 7 — 9 Gives the
tightest course keeping
and greatest rudder activity
(and power consumption).
This can lead to a rough
passage in open waters as
the SPX system may ‘fight’
the sea.
Item Description Limits
Off course
alarm This screen determines the
angle used by the OFF
COURSE alarm. The OFF
COURSE alarm operates if the
pilot strays off course by more
than the specified angle for
more than 20 seconds. • 15° to 40°
• 20º (default)
Turn rate
limit This limits your vessel’s rate of
turn under SmartPilot system
control. It is only effective if your
speed is greater than 12 knots. • 1° to 30°
• 7º (default)
Power
steer This screen determines the
behavior of the Rotary or
joystick when in power steer
mode. • Off
• Proportional The steering
will behave in proportion to
the movement of the rotary
controller or joystick.
• Bang Bang (Joystick only)
The rudder will move,
and stay in the direction a
joystick is moved.
Latitude If no valid latitude data is
available, the SmartPilot
system will use this setting,
which provides the necessary
adaptation for higher latitudes.
• 0 — 80
Hard over
time On vessels without a rudder
reference transducer, it is of
critical importance to set the
hard over time, to ensure
accurate autopilot operation. • Value is seconds
• 10 seconds (default)
