How to select NAVpilot steering parameters
Your NAVpilot has two types of steering features for parameter adjustment:
• Automatic adjustment feature: Sets up the equipment according to ship's charac-
teristics and sea state, for optimum performance in the AUTO, NAV and WIND
modes.
• Self-learning feature: Adjusts 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.
1. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting
for [Sea State] from the [Parameter Setup] menu then push
the knob.
2. Rotate the Course control knob to select the option which
best matches current sea state then push the knob.
• [Full-Auto]: Auto adjustment and self-learning are on.
• [Semi-Auto]: Auto adjustment is on, self-learning is off.
• [Manual-Calm]: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for calm sea.
• [Manual-Moderate]: Self-learning is off, using the parameters for a typical nor-
mal sea state.
• [Manual-Rough]: Self-learning is off, using preset parameters for a typical rough
sea state.
For normal, everyday operation, the [Full-Auto] mode is recommended. However,
if you want the NAVpilot to steer the boat based on experience-related parame-
ters, but you don't want the pilot to be in "self-learning" mode, select the [Semi-
Auto].
Note: The course keeping accuracy may decrease if the sea state is different from
the experience-related parameters. This option is provided if you happen to be us-
ing the pilot in a situation that you do not anticipate encountering again.
