62 ST6000 Plus Autopilot Control Unit Owner’s Handbook

These actions are most easily recognised in calm sea conditions

where wave action does not mask basic steering performance.

2. Refer to Chapter 4, Customising the System, for instructions on

how to adjust the default rudder gain setting. Note that you can also

make temporary adjustments to rudder gain during normal

operation (see section 3.3).

3. Repeat the test until a crisp course change with no more 5° of

overshoot is achieved.

The rudder control setting should be set to the lowest setting consistent

with accurate course keeping. This will minimise helm movements and

hence reduce power consumption and wear and tear.
