Align the rudder position sensor

1. With the SmartPilot still in Dealer Calibration, press the disp key to scroll

through the calibration pages until you reach the ALIGN RUD page.

2. Center the rudder using the wheel.

3. Use the -1 and +1 keys or the rotary control to adjust the rudder bar so it

reads at center.

• the maximum adjustment available is ±9° for S1 systems, and ±7° for S2

& S3 systems. If the offset is beyond these limits, you will need to physi-

cally adjust the alignment of the sensor.

4. Press disp to select the correct alignment and move to the next calibration

option.

Note:

Alternatively, you can zero the rudder bar with the boat underway during the initial

seatrial, by manually steering a straight course then accessing the

ALIGN RUD

screen

in Seatrial Calibration to adjust the offset.

3. Use the -1, +1, -10 and +10 keys or the rotary control to set the rudder

limit to 5° less than the lowest angle you have noted.

4. Press disp to select the new value and move to the next calibration option.
