Rudder limit 10°

Thruster ----

Rudder Limit determines the maximum rudder movement in

degrees from the “used” midship position that the autopilot can

command the rudder in the automatic modes.

“Used” midship position is the rudder angle required to maintain

a straight course.

The Rudder limit setting is only active during autosteering on

straight courses, NOT during course changes. This Rudder limit

does not affect WORK, Non-Follow-up or Follow Up steering.

In WORK, Non-Follow-up or Follow Up steering, only the max.

rudder limit applies.

Note ! The max. rudder limit was set automatically to physical stop

minus 2° when the rudder feedback calibration was performed.

Range: 5° to max. rudder limit in 1° steps.

Default: 10°

Proceed to the next menu item by pressing the

(STBD)

button.
