determine the deviation and apply any correction required. The correction procedure
reduces deviation errors to a few degrees.
As magnetic deviation can cause significant compass errors on your boat, you
MUST
complete the compass swing before any other seatrial procedure.

follows:
i.
Hold down

If you cannot access Seatrial calibration, disable the calibration lock (see page 54).
2. Use the
disp
key to page through the Seatrial calibration items until you see
SWING COMPASS.

.
4. Press

The Pilot Controller will display
TURN BOAT

pass swing.
5. Ensuring you keep the boat’s speed below 5 knots, start slowly turning the boat in
circles, at a constant speed, maintaining a turn rate of approximately 3° per
second, i.e. taking approximately 2 minutes to complete one turn. Complete at
least two circles in this manner.
If you turn the boat too quickly, the display will show a
TOO FAST
message. If this
occurs,
apply less helm to reduce the rate of turn.
