Simrad AP16 Autopilot
Rudder Deadband
If the auto-setting does not perform properly due to high inertia
from the wheel or a loose steering gear, it can be adjusted
manually.
Adjust the Rudder deadband using the STBD 10 and PORT 10
buttons. Find the lowest possible value that will prevent the
rudder from hunting. A wide deadband will cause inaccurate
steering. It is recommended to check rudder stability in AUTO
mode when the boat is moving to get pressure on the rudder.
Range:
Default: AUTO.
Proceed to the next menu item by pressing the STBD 1 button.
The rudder deadband setting is not available when the autopilot

AUTO, 0.1° to 4.0° in 0.1° increments.

The rudder deadband function is
adaptive and is continuously
operative. It prevents the rudder
from hunting and the adaptive
function optimizes the deadband to
the speed of the boat and the
pressure on the rudder.
Wind setup has two levels:
NORMAL and RACING. The
RACING level will give access to
more wind setup items to achieve
optimal performance when sailing.
Additional setup items also become
available in the User setup menu.
