Selecting the method of entering the parameter
The NAVpilot-500 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. Further, a self-learning algorithm is incorporated: Parameters for rudder ratio,
counter rudder and auto trim gains, input at the sea trial after the installation and
experiences of your boat, are stored in memory for navigation in the future.
Note that the default settings for FULL-AUTO have been detected based on the BOAT
TYPE and BOAT LENGTH on installing.
