6.3 Steering setup

The setup steps in this section are required for all Optimus EPS and
Optimus 360 systems. All the steering setup tasks are done from the
Steering Setup menu at Dealer Menu > Initial Setup > Steering.
6.3.1 Configuration (optional)
Skip this step unless you have installed an engine wedge kit (such as
Dometic P/N HA5495). Engine wedges are angled shims installed
between the engine mounting bracket and the transom to toe-in the
engines. Increased toe-in angle will give better joystick performance on
hulls with widely spaced engines, such as pontoon boats or catamarans.
This parameter tells the SCU how much to correct for this angle.
Use the + and – buttons to adjust the wedge angle, up to the maximum
supported angle of 10°.

6.3.2

Calibrating the Electric Actuators

The calibration procedure teaches the SCU the end-of-travel points for the
actuators in the system. The SCU expects to see these end points within a
range of values based on the actuator stroke. If the actuator is unable to
move through its full stroke the calibration will fail.
NOTE
During calibration the steering actuators will move through their full
stroke. Ensure there is nothing stopping the engines from traveling the
full distance, or calibration could fail.
1. From the steering setup screen, select Calibrate Steering and press > to
enter the calibration menu, then press > again to enter calibration mode.
