3.2.10 Setting manual rudder movement limit
In the REM (remote) or DODGE mode, usually a wide range of rudder angles are used, and
therefore a larger number should be entered. However, the setting must not exceed the
rudder limit angle which is inherent to your boat. Rotate the course control knob to select

Note: This setting must less than the rudder limit values set in the previous step. It is
recommended to set this value approximately 5º less than the maximum rudder limit
values.

rectangle.
2. Rotate the course control knob to set the rudder limit desired. (Setting range: 1 to 45°)
