AutoTack
The AutoTack angle is not adjustable. The apparent wind angle when AutoTack is
initiated, is mirrored the other side of the wind, on the opposite tack.
Gybe inhibit
With gybe inhibit on:
•
You will be able to perform an AutoTack into the wind
•
The SPX-5 Tiller system will prevent the boat from performing an AutoTack away
from the wind, to prevent accidental gybes.
With gybe inhibit off, you can perform an AutoTack into or away from the wind.
Wind selection
This determines whether the boat steers to apparent or true wind in Wind Vane mode.
WindTrim
WindTrim controls how quickly the SPX-5 Tiller system responds to changes in the
wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a system that is more responsive
to wind changes.
