4.  HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR NAVPILOT

The NAVpilot continually monitors the boat's trim in order to keep the trim sensitivity 
optimum. A lower setting is common because boat's trim usually does not change 
quickly. A large number changes the trim compensation value more frequently. Too 
high of a setting may result in the following problems.

Note: Trim gain is not available with Fantum Feedback

TM

.

•  Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and star-

board directions alternately.

•  Trim compensation mechanism responds to the yawing, resulting in more serious 

oscillation of ship's heading.

To automatically set the trim, do as follows:

1. Rotate the Course control knob to select [TRIM GAIN] from the [PARAMETER 

SETUP] menu.

2. Push the Course control knob to show the options for [TRIM 

GAIN].

3. Rotate the Course control knob to select [AUTO] or [MANUAL] 

then push the knob. For [AUTO] go to step 6.

4. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current value and push the knob.
5. Rotate the Course control knob to set a value (1 to 20. The default value is au-

tomatically calculated according to length of your boat, entered on the [SHIP’S 
CHARACTERISTICS] menu at installation.

6. Push the Course control knob to finish.
