6. Examine the final Y-value in the table. The target value is 1800
± 200.
a) If it is less than 1600, go back to STEP 2 and increase FWD:
Port Max Joystick Throttle by 0.5%.
b) If it is more than 2000, decrease FWD: Port Max Joystick
Throttle by 0.5%.
c) Click write if you make a change.
7. If you changed the throttle parameters, repeat the wizard and
recheck the results until the conditions are met.
8. Click run Stbd engine forward throttle wizard to repeat this
procedure for the starboard engine. The C LED will flash on the
joystick to indicate the starboard wizard
is running.
reverse throttle wizard:
Run the reverse wizards with the joystick held in full reverse. The
procedure is identical, except that the target for the final Y-value
(step 6) is the maximum RPM you recorded in STEP 2. Use the
same adjustments to ensure the final Y-value is within 200 RPM
of the target.
It isn't necessary that the port and starboard Throttle vs RPM maps
are identical. The system will synchronize the engines to the same
speed.
b.3.7 Step 4 – Set forward heading correction
In this step you will adjust the rudder angles to minimize sideways
drift when piloting the boat straight ahead with the joystick. Perform
in an area with no wind or current.
1. Press take command on the joystick. Ensure boost mode is off.
2. Push the joystick all the way forward without rotating the knob. If the
boat holds a straight course then no adjustment is necessary.
Move on to STEP 5.
3. Change the Rudder Correction value until the boat holds a straight
course. Remember to click write with each change.
a) Each unit equals one degree of rudder correction. If the boat
drifts to port, enter a positive value. If the boat drifts to
starboard, enter a negative value.
