Settings

• Wind Hold Type—(sailboats only) autopilot steers to apparent wind

or true wind when wind hold is engaged. For both true and apparent

wind, wind angle is calculated in reference to the bow of the boat, and is

represented in degrees to port or starboard.

NoTe: The option to switch between wind-hold types is only available

if your boat is equipped with both a wind sensor and a water speed

sensor.

◦ Apparent wind speed reflects the flow of air actually experienced

while on a boat. Apparent is the only available wind hold option if

your boat is equipped with a wind sensor and no water speed sensor.

◦ True wind data reflects the flow of air experienced with reference

to the speed of the boat. Select True or Apparent if your boat is

equipped with a wind sensor and a water speed sensor.

• Wind Limiter—(sailboats only) during a gybe, the wind limiter slows

the rate of turn as the wind direction approaches the stern. If the rate of

turn is too slow, decrease the wind limiter value. If the rate of turn is too

fast, increase the wind limiter value.

Power Mode

You can enable a power mode to help reduce rudder activity.

1. From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > User Autopilot

Configuration.

2. Select an option:

• Select Power Mode > economy to enable economy power mode.

• Select Power Mode > Normal to return to normal operation.

You can adjust the level of rudder activity while in economy power mode.

1. From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > User Autopilot

Configuration > Power Saver.

2. Select a percentage and select Done.

A higher percentage setting will reduce rudder activity at the expense of

heading performance. Therefore, the higher you set the percentage, the

more your course will deviate before the autopilot corrects it.

TIP: In choppy conditions at low speeds, increasing the Power Saver

percentage will reduce rudder activity and reduce wear on the autopilot

system.
