Adjusting the Step Steering Increment

1 From the Autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup > Step Turn Size.
2 Select an increment.

Setting the Power Saver

You can adjust the level of rudder activity.
1 From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup > Power Mode Setup > Power Saver.
2 Select a percentage.
Selecting a higher percentage reduces rudder activity and heading performance. The higher the percentage,
the more the course deviates before the autopilot corrects it.
TIP: In choppy conditions at low speeds, increasing the Power Saver percentage reduces rudder activity.

Enabling Shadow Drive

NOTE: The Shadow Drive feature is not available on all autopilot models.
From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup > Shadow Drive > Enabled.
