S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Commissioning Guide
If you need to change the setting, increase the AutoTrim one level at a time and
use the
lowest
acceptable value:
• decrease the AutoTrim level if the SmartPilot gives unstable course keeping or
excessive drive activity with a change in the heel angle
• increase the AutoTrim level if the SmartPilot reacts slowly to a heading
change due to a change in the heel angle
• if the AutoTrim level is too high, the boat will be less stable and snake around
the desired course
Note:
TillerPilot (and gyro upgraded WheelPilot) systems have a ‘FastTrim’ feature within
AutoTrim. Select
AUTO TRIM OFF
to turn off FastTrim as well as AutoTrim.
Response level
This sets the default SmartPilot 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
(see your
Operating Guide
for details).

RESPONSE
Range = 1 to 9
level 1
minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This con
serves power, but may compromise shortterm course
keeping accuracy
levels 4 to 6
should give good course keeping with crisp,
well controlled turns under normal operating conditions
level 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 SmartPilot may
‘fight’ the sea.
