Enabling the Gybe Inhibitor

NOTE: The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually performing a gybe using the helm or step
steering.
The gybe inhibitor prevents the autopilot from performing a gybe.
1 From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Gybe Inhibitor.
2 Select Enabled.

Adjusting the Autopilot Response

When in sailboat mode, the Response setting allows you to adjust the rudder gain quickly to account for varying
wind conditions.
1 From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Response.
2 Adjust the rudder response.
If you need the rudder to be more responsive and move quicker, increase the value. If the rudder is moving
too much, decrease the value.

Heading Line and Angle Markers

The heading line is an extension drawn on the map from the bow of the boat in the direction of travel. Angle
markers indicate relative position from the heading or course over ground, which are helpful for casting or
finding reference points.

Setting the Heading Line and Angle Markers
