Figure 73
– WORK Mode Menu
Rudder Bias
This menu line only appears when WORK mode is active. It shows the current rudder
bias, which can be adjusted if desired.
Autotrim
The autopilot’s WORK mode can be configured to use manual or automatic rudder bias
trim when in WORK mode (the default is to use automatic bias).
Manual rudder bias is fixed by the position of the rudder when the autopilot first enters
WORK
mode, but can be adjusted by the user if desired.
Automatic rudder bias is initially set to the position of the rudder when the autopilot first
enters WORK
mode, but is automatically adjusted on a continual basis thereafter to
ensure that the vessel remains on-course.
Work Trip Pt. - Work Trip Point
This is the speed below which WORK mode can be engaged, and above which WORK
mode will be disengaged automatically. The value can be 1 to 10, and these units refer to
the information the Speed
Source (see the Auto menu) is providing.
