Configuring 

Your 

Propilot 

725

Rudder Deadband

R D B - - 0 3

Some 

steering 

systems 

have 

slack 

in 

them 

due 

to 

wear 

or

system 

design 

which 

gives 

few 

uncontrolled 

degrees 

of

rudder 

movement. 

To 

stop 

the 

autopilot 

trying 

to 

correct

these 

small 

movements, 

which 

it 

can 

never 

successfully 

do,

the 

rudder 

deadband 

setting 

allows 

small 

rudder

displacement 

from 

the 

required 

position 

without 

the

autopilot 

trying 

to 

correct 

the 

error.

Set 

this 

to 

the 

minimum 

value 

that 

avoids 

hunting 

of 

the

rudder. 

The 

range 

is 

from 

00, 

(0º) 

to 

20 

,(2º). 

The 

Pilot 

A, 

&

C values will always be the same. If you change one it will

change the other.

Rudder Limit

This 

sets 

the 

maximum 

rudder 

movement, 

either 

side 

of

amidships, 

obtainable 

under 

autopilot 

control. 

The 

range 

is

RLIM--07

from 

01 

(=3º) 

to 

10 

(=30º). 

Set 

the 

limit 

so 

that 

the 

rudder

does 

not 

quite 

touch 

its 

end 

stops.

The 

setting 

can 

be 

set 

at 

different 

levels 

for 

each 

choice 

of

Pilot 

A, 

or 

C.

Max Turn Rate

This 

sets 

the 

maximum 

rate 

of 

turn 

that 

is 

allowed 

when

under 

autopilot 

control. 

 When set to 0 (off) the rate of turn is

not limited and small radius turns are allowed.

T U R N - - 2 0

The Range is from 0 (off), then 1 (large radius) to 20 (small

radius).

The Pilot A, B and C values will always be the same.  If you

change one it will change the other.

Power Steer

This 

adjusts 

the 

sensitivity 

of 

the 

steering 

when 

it 

is 

controlled

Gain

by 

remote 

device 

such 

as 

930 

717 

or 

930 

729

Proportional 

Control. 

The 

range 

is 

from 

01 

(least 

sensitive) 

to

P S G - - 0 7

10 

(most 

sensitive).

The 

Pilot 

A, 

and 

values 

will 

always 

be 

the 

same. 

If 

you

change 

one 

it 

will 

change 

the 

other.
