3. ADJUSTMENTS
3.2.6 Entering boat length
Enter the actual boat length, between 1 and 80 feet (0.3 and 24.4 m). This length may affect
the steering parameters.
1. Rotate the course control knob to select "BOAT LENGTH".
2. Press the course control knob and the current value is circumscribed with a double
rectangle.
3. Rotate the course control knob to set the boat length.
4. Press the course control knob to finish.
3.2.7 Entering maximum speed
Enter the maximum speed of your boat, between 1 and 99 kt (1.9 and 183.3 km/h). The
speed entered affects the steering parameters.
1. Rotate the course control knob to select "MAX. SPD." from the DOCKSIDE SETUP
menu.
2. Press the course control knob and the current value is circumscribed with a double
rectangle.
3. Rotate the course control knob to set maximum speed.
4. Press the course control knob to finish.
3.2.8 Setting port and starboard rudder limit
In this mode, you must set the maximum rudder limits or "hard-over" points for the rudder
system. Once these limits are set, you also need to set the approximate center rudder
position before continuing.
Note 1: Navpilot will AUTOMATICALLY set the port/starboard direction of the rudder angle
in this step. It does not matter which way the rudder reference unit arm or linear
sensor rod is installed as this correction will be done electronically.
Note 2: Navpilot will automatically "linearize" the rudder indication values if the rudder turns
further in one direction than the other direction. Therefore, it is recommended that
you make both port and starboard rudder values the same. This will avoid
confusion for the customer during operation. Also, numeric value selected is not
critical and need not be measured as long as you feel that your estimation is close
to the proper value.
Adjust the rudder angle indication as follows.
1. Rotate the course control knob to select "RUDDER LIMIT SETUP."
2. Press the course control knob twice to show the RUDDER LIMIT SETUP menu.
