The rudder deadband function 
is adaptive and is continuously 
operative. It prevents the 
rudder from hunting and the 
adaptive function optimizes the 
deadband to the speed of the 
boat and the pressure on the 
rudder. 

If the auto-setting does not perform properly due to high inertia 
from the wheel or a loose steering gear, it can be adjusted 
manually. 
Adjust the Rudder deadband by rotating the course knob. Find 
the lowest possible value that will prevent the rudder from 
hunting. A wide deadband will cause inaccurate steering. It is 
recommended to check rudder stability and accuracy in FU-
mode when the boat is moving to get pressure on the rudder. 
Range:   AUTO, 0.1° to 4.0° in 0.1° increments. 
Default:   AUTO. 
Proceed to the next menu item by pressing the STBD button. 

Wind setup is only available if ‘Boat type’ is set to ‘Sail’ in the 
Installation/Dockside menu. 

Wind setup has two levels: 
NORMAL and RACING. The 
RACING level will give access 
to more wind setup items to 
achieve optimal performance 
when sailing.  

Additional setup items also become available in the User setup 
and the Quick setup menus.
