If you are not still in the Dockside Setup menu, enter it.
Move the menu highlight to "Drive Setup", and then press the
automated script.
Begin by manually moving the rudder all the way to starboard when prompted. Do
not be concerned if the rudder angle indicator shown on the display appears to go in
the opposite direction. The Commander P2 will sort that out shortly.
Figure 69 – Move Rudder to Starboard
Be sure to move the rudder all the way to the physical stops.
The speed at which you move the rudder does not matter, nor does it matter if you
move the rudder back and forth a bit when it reaches the physical stops, so as to be
sure it has reached those stops.
The autopilot will record the "all the way" position – as measured by the Rudder
Follower – and will ensure, in normal operation, that the rudder is always stopped a
couple of degrees shy of this position, to avoid pounding against the stops.
Do so – again, all the way to the physical stops, at any speed you like – then press
the PORT ARROW button.
