Engaging Power Steering Mode

Press the Power button. A beep will sound and the adjacent light will come

on. The rudder will move to the centre position.

Setting the rudder angle

The angle of rudder applied depends on the amount of rotation of the
course knob.

The maximum angle of rudder is controlled by the internal and external rudder

limit settings.

Power Steering Mode 

4

Rotating the course control knob clockwise will move the rudder to
starboard. Rotating the course control knob anticlockwise will move the 
rudder to port.

For information on power-steering with a remote unit (eg: 

Electric Wheel

 or 

Steering Levers), 

see the section on remote units.

If your vessel requires counter-rudder while steering in auto mode, you may wish 
to set the counter rudder control

1

(ie: disabled) while using power-steer.
