Gybe inhibit

See User calibration, page 50 .

Wind selection

Note:
Only available if appropriate wind data is available.
This screen determines whether the boat steers to apparent or true wind in Wind Vane
mode. See User calibration, page 50

WindTrim

WindTrim controls how quickly the SPX-5 Wheel system responds to changes in the
wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a system that is more responsive
to wind changes. See User calibration, page 51

PowerSteer

If you have a joystick connected to your SPX-5 Wheel system, use this screen to
select the required joystick mode of operation. For detailed operating information,
refer to the guide supplied with the joystick

Cruise speed

Set the cruise speed to the boat's typical cruising speed. If neither the speed through
the water nor the speed over ground are available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the SPX-5
Wheel system will use the cruise speed value you set here as a default when
calculating course changes.

Latitude

If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the SPX-5 Wheel system will
use this data instead of the calibration value.

= Proportional power steer
Proportional power steer applies rudder in proportion to joystick movement – the
further the joystick is held over, the greater the applied rudder.
2
= Bang-bang power steer
Bang-bang power steer applies continuous rudder in the direction of the lever
movement – to improve control, the speed of rudder movement changes with the
angle of the lever. For maximum speed, push the lever hardover. If you return the
lever to the center position, the rudder will remain in its current position.
