IMPORTANT!!

Before entering AUTO mode, ensure that the rudder
is  in  the  centre  position  (i.e.:  the  vessel  is  steering
approximately straight ahead).  If you do not do this,
the  course  steered  will  be  different  to  what  is
displayed.

The AP55 Autopilot will select the position of the rudder when
AUTO is selected as the position of the rudder to allow the vessel
to steer straight ahead. This can be an advantage in most vessels
when a slight amount of helm from the physical centre position is
required for the vessel to go straight.
