Align rudder (n/a Verado)
Use this setting to calibrate the rudder bar display. This is usually set as part of the
commissioning process. This screen also appears in the Seatrial Calibration grouping.
Rudder limit (n/a Verado)
Use the rudder limit screen to set the limits of the rudder control just inside the mechanical
end stops. This will avoid putting the steering system under unnecessary load. You should
adjust this setting when commissioning the SmartPilot.
Rudder gain
Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the SmartPilot will apply to correct course errors.
The higher the setting the more rudder will be applied.
The default rudder gain is set during the initial seatrial:
• S1G systems will adjust the rudder gain automatically during AutoLearn
You can make temporary changes to this rudder gain value during normal operation (see
SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide
).
Counter rudder
Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the SmartPilot applies to try to prevent the boat from
yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied.
The default counter rudder gain is set during the initial seatrial:
• S1G systems will adjust the counter rudder setting automatically during AutoLearn
