the compass’ own instructions regarding calibration.
Note: In certain areas and at high latitudes the local magnetic interference becomes more
signi cant and heading errors exceeding ±3° may have to be accepted.
Compass mounting o set
After compass calibration, the di erence (if any) between the compass lubber line and the
boats center line should be compensated for.
1. Find the bearing from the boat position to a visible object. Use a chart or a chart plotter
2. Steer the boat so that the center line of the boat is aligned with the bearing line pointing
towards the object
2. Change the o set parameter so that the bearing to the object and the compass readout
becomes equal.
Note: Make sure that both the compass heading and the bearing to the object have the same
unit (°M or °T).
Setting the Transition speed (HI/LO)
This is the speed at which the system automatically changes from LO to HI steering
parameters.
On power boats it is recommended that you set a value that represents the speed where the
hull begins to plane or the speed where you change from slow to cruising speed.
On sailboats the transition speed should be set to around 3-4 knots to give the best response
in a tack.
A deadband of 2 knots is incorporated to prevent oscillation of HI/LO settings when vessel is
travelling at the transition speed.

Active response parameter set is shown in the autopilot popup, and the following
abbreviations are used:
HI-A High response parameters set automatically
LO-A Low response parameters set automatically
HI-M High response parameters set manually
LO-M Low response parameter set manually
Autotuning
The autotune feature will run the boat through several tests and then automatically set the
most important steering parameters.
Autotune is not required for the autopilot to function, as it is preset with steering parameters
that should steer most boats in the 30-50 foot range.
