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.
