Temporarily Adjusting Response; Adjusting Display Lighting & Contrast; Lighting - Raymarine SmartPilot X-5 Operating Manual

SPX-5 autopilot systems have 9 levels of response:
Levels 9 to 7 give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and
•
power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the
SPX-5 Pilot may 'fight' the sea.
Levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns
•

compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy.
