Options

AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband) = default
• autopilot to gradually ignores repetitive boat movements

and only react to true variations in course

• provides the best compromise between power

consumption and course keeping accuracy

AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband)
• provides tighter course keeping
• increased power consumption and drive unit activity

AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping
• provides tightest possible course keeping by introducing

counter rudder yaw damping
