RESPONSE
Range = 1 to 9
levels 9 to 7
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.
levels 6to 4
should give good course keeping with crisp,
well controlled turns under normal operating conditions
levels 3 to 1
minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This con-
serves power, but may compromise short-term course-keep-
ing accuracy

Options
RESPONSE 1
AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat move-
ments and only react to true variations in course. This provides
the best compromise between power consumption and
course keeping accuracy
RESPONSE 2
AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband)
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to
increased power consumption and drive unit activity
RESPONSE 3
AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by
introducing counter rudder yaw damping
