STEP 8 – Adjust power levels
In this step you will customize the boat's response by fine-tuning power
levels associated with each direction. Note that large changes in these
values can affect the rudder offset and FWD/REV ratios calibrated in STEP
4 through STEP 8.
NOTE
When fine-tuning power levels, always return the joystick to center
position after making any adjustment. Make small changes and click
Write after every change.
1. Ensure boost mode is off.
2. Move the joystick all the way forward and adjust Normal Forward
Power until the boat's speed over water (SOW) is 3–4 knots.
3. Move the joystick to full forward and hold until the boat is at speed.
Abruptly move the joystick to full reverse and hold until the boat stops
its forward motion.
a. If the boat does not stop quickly enough, increase Normal
Reverse Power and repeat until you are satisfied with the
stopping time.
4. Move the joystick all the way port and adjust Normal Sideways Power
until the boat moves sideways at a comfortable close-quarters
docking speed.
5. Rotate the joystick all the way clockwise and adjust Normal Rotation
Power until the boat rotates at a comfortable close-quarters
docking speed.
6. Press Boost to enable boost mode.
7. Move the joystick all the way forward and adjust Boost Forward Power
until the boat's SOW is 4–5 knots.
8. Move the joystick to full forward and hold until the boat is at speed.
Abruptly move the joystick to full reverse and hold until the boat stops
its forward motion.
a. If the boat does not stop quickly enough, increase Boost Reverse
Power and repeat until you are satisfied with the stopping time.
9. Move the joystick all the way port and adjust Boost Sideways Power
until the boat moves sideways noticeably faster than in normal mode.
10. Rotate the joystick all the way clockwise and adjust Boost Rotation
Power until the boat rotates noticeably faster than in Normal mode.
11. Changes in these values can affect previously calibrated parameters.
If you changed any of these parameters by more than 5 units, repeat
STEPS 5 through 7.
