Power steer type
Drive type
Rudder damping (deadband)
Power steer selects the joystick mode of operation: Proportional or
'Bang-Bang':
•
Proportional applies rudder in proportion to Joystick movement -
the further the joystick is held over the greater the applied rudder.
•
Bang-Bang applies continuous rudder drive in the direction of
lever movement. To improve control the speed of rudder
movement changes with the angle of the lever. For maximum
speed push the lever hardover. If the lever is returned to the center
position the rudder will remain in its current position.
The settings available are as follows:
•
0 = Off (default)
•
1 = Proportional
•
2 = Bang-Bang
Use this option to set the type of drive used by your boat. The settings
available are as follows:
•
1 = Linear (tacho only)
•
2 = Linear (tacho only)
•
3 = Linear, rotary and sterndrive
•
4 = Hydraulic
•
5 = Solenoid (default)
The factory setting for rudder damping provides stable rudder
positioning on most steering systems. However, some steering
systems that use a rotary or hydraulic drive unit a long way from the
rudder may experience slight instability. This instability can be
minimized by increasing the setting.
The settings available are as follows:
•
Range = 1 to 9
•
Default = 1
