RESPONSE
Range = 1 to 9
levels 9 to 7 gives the tightest course keeping and great-
est rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead
to a rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may
‘fight’ the sea.
levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp,
well controlled turns under normal operating conditions.
levels 3 to 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This
conserves power, but may compromise short-term course-
keeping accuracy.

RESPONSE 1
AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband).
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat move-
ments and only react to true variations in course. This pro-
vides the best compromise between power consumption
and course keeping accuracy.
RESPONSE 2
AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband).
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to
increased power consumption and drive unit activity.
RESPONSE 3
AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping.
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping
by introducing counter rudder yaw damping.
