The vertical bar is the lubber line (bow). Observe the number of
arrows to each side of the bar while the autopilot is working; one
> = 1° off course. Increase the rudder play value in steps by
pressing the STBD 10 or PORT 10 button and take time to
observe the result of each step before you make further changes.
The best setting is when the number of arrows is at a minimum
on each side of the bar. This adjustment has to be made at
cruising speed (LO setting) and once again at slow speed (HI
setting).
Note !
Increasing the rudder play compensation will increase the
number of rudder commands. Particularly at low speed this may
enhance the course keeping performance.
Proceed to the "Parameters" item by pressing the STBD 1
button or return to STANDBY mode by pressing the STBY
button.
