Turn variables
All turn steering options, except the C-turn, have settings that you may adjust before

U-turn
U-Turn changes the current set course to be
180° in the opposite direction.
The turn rate is identical to default rate of
turn (ROT) setting. This cannot be changed
during the turn.
C-turn
C-turn makes the boat turn in a circle.
You can adjust the turn rate (ROT) before
the turn is initiated and during the turn.
Increasing the turn rate makes the boat to a
smaller circle.
