¼ Note: Many boats have ±45° (90° H.O. - H.O.) rudder angle as standard. So if you are not going
to make any adjustment to the displayed angle you should still highlight the reading and
confirm. This is necessary to prevent the rudder from hitting the end stops.
Set Rudder to 0 (zero)
Bring the rudder to midship position and confirm. This will adjust an incorrect reading caused
by misalignment of the rudder feedback unit.
Rudder Test
¼ Note: If the boat uses power assisted steering, it is important that the engine or electric
motor used to enable the power assist steering be turned on prior to this test.
Warning: Stand CLEAR of the wheel and do not attempt to take
manual control of the wheel during this test!
Bring the rudder manually to midship position before starting the test.
After a few seconds the autopilot Computer will issue a series of PORT and STBD rudder
commands and automatically verify correct rudder direction.
