The Sea-trial menu can only be accessed if the Dockside Settings 
are completed and confirmed. 
The seatrial settings are: 
•  Rudder zero adjust (To tell the autopilot the precise midships 

position of the rudder) 

•  Minimum rudder 
•  Compass calibration (To automatically compensate for 

onboard magnetic interference)  

•  Compass Offset (To compensate for a fixed offset (A-error) in 

the final compass heading readout) 

•  Wind Offset (To compensate for a fixed mechanical offset of 

the Wind vane) 

•  Wind Damping (To avoid flickering on the wind display) 
•  Depth offset (To compensate for the distance between the 

depth transducer and the surface if required) 

•  Automatic tuning (A method of determining the steering 

parameters) 

•  Transition speed (the speed at which you want a power boat to 

change steering parameters) 

•  Init NAV (to set the response you prefer when steering onto a 

track in NAV mode) 

•  Drive output adjust (See Dockside Rudder Test page 90.)
