Steering mode settings

The setting of the steering mode, that is the IPS propulsion units' steering angles, is
depending on the properties of the boat hull. The steering angles influence the turning
radius of the boat.
There are three values when setting the steering angles:
MINIMUM, MEDIUM and MAXIMUM.
MAXIMUM steering angle results in the smallest turning radius.
NOTE! Perform a Steering mode setting if needed after sea trial.
