Selecting the method of entering the parameter
The NAVpilot-511/520/611 has an automatic adjustment feature which sets up the
equipment according to ship’s characteristics and sea state for optimum performance in the
AUTO and NAV modes. In addition, a self-learning algorithm is incorporated: Parameters for
rudder ratio, counter rudder and auto trim gains are constantly optimized based on the
steering history of your boat, and are stored in memory for future navigation.
You choose how the NAVpilot-511/520/611 will steer the vessel, (manual or automatic sea
state parameter adjustment) as follows:
1. Rotate the course control knob to select “SEA STATE” from the PARAMETER SETUP
menu.
