On a GHP 10 autopilot system, if you disable the Shadow Drive, you must
set the autopilot to standby (STBY) to manually control the helm. Use
caution when disabling the Shadow Drive.
On a GHP 10V autopilot system, if you disable the Shadow Drive, any
adjustment to the helm completely disengages the autopilot.
Although the autopilot is configured for your boat during installation, you
may find it necessary to adjust it depending on sea conditions.
Select Menu > Setup > User Autopilot Configuration.

heading hold again when you hold a steady course for a few seconds.

systems.
• Shadow Drive Sensitivity—Shadow Drive is activated when a certain
amount of pressure is placed on the helm. Adjust this setting if the
Shadow Drive is being falsely tripped or not activating properly. If the
autopilot disengages while the helm is steady, decreasing the sensitivity
value can help alleviate unwanted disengaging. If the Shadow Drive does
not disengage the autopilot correctly when you take the helm, increasing
the sensitivity value may help.
NoTe: This setting does not apply to a GHP 10V or GHP 12 autopilot
system.
• Sea State Filtering—adjust the sea state filtering to set the heading
responsiveness. Set sea state filtering to 0% under normal operating
conditions. Increase sea state filtering in choppy conditions at low speeds
to reduce rudder activity and reduce wear on the autopilot system.
• Direction Control—enable the device to set the drive direction to
forward or reverse from the heading screen when the autopilot is in
standby mode. See page 4 for information about using direction control.
• Heading Hold Tack Angle—(sailboats only) set the fixed angle at
which the autopilot performs a tack or gybe maneuver with heading hold
engaged. Select an angle from 1° to 180°.
• Tack/Gybe Delay—(sailboats only) the autopilot delays steering a tack
or gybe after you initiate the maneuver using the remote or the device.
The delay counts down on the heading screen, and sounds an alarm when
the autopilot begins the tack or gybe. Select a delay from 0 to 15 seconds.
• Gybe Inhibitor—(sailboats only) prevents the autopilot from performing
a gybe. The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually
performing a gybe using the helm or step steering.
