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.
