Speed Sensitive Steering; Display Brightness - Dometic Optimus EPS Installation And User Manual

Speed sensitive steering

A key advantage of Optimus electronic power steering is the ability to change
steering parameters as boat speed changes. Both the steering effort and
helm turns are smoothly adjusted between their low and high speed
settings as the boat speed changes. Figure 3-8 illustrates how this works.
Low and high boat speed is defined by engine RPM using values determined
by the boat builder or the dealer that installed the system. These are not
user adjustable.

High Speed Rudder Limit
The boat builder or dealer may have set a high speed rudder limit in order
to keep the vessel in a comfortable operating envelope and prevent
aggressive maneuvers at high speed. If this is the case you will find that
your steering angle is progressively limited as boat speed increases.
