maximum thrust, the JSM GAIN setting is available. The joystick gain setting is used for both joystick modes; manual
joystick as well as auto joystick mode. See Heading and Position Keeping Gain, Speed and Alarm Settings on page

The Joystick Gain (%) (parameter adjustable) value determines the amount of thrust supplied when the joystick or
rotation button is moved to most outer positions. (If set at 100% is full thrust). Advisable value in harbor is approximately
30%.
