Note ! The values in the table are factory set (default) and listed for

the values may differ from those listed in the table. See also
"Automatic Tuning" previously in this chapter.
The two most important parameters that determine the
performance of the automatic steering are Rudder and Counter
Rudder.
Rudder sets the rudder gain which is the ratio between the
commanded angle and the heading error.
• Too little Rudder and the autopilot fails to keep a steady
• Too much Rudder gives unstable steering and reduces speed.
• Low speed requires more Rudder than high speed.
