Using The Dockside Wizard; Selecting A Drive Type - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 3 Advanced Operation Instructions

Note:
It is important to be aware that steering forces (and therefore rate-of-turn) vary significantly
depending on the combination of vessel hull type, steering system, and drive type. The available
vessel hull type options are provided for guidance only. You may wish to experiment with the
different vessel hull type options, as it might be possible to improve the steering performance of
your vessel by selecting a different vessel hull type. When choosing a suitable vessel hull type, the
emphasis should be on a safe and dependable steering response.
