Power Saver percentage reduces rudder activity.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup >

Shadow Drive > Enabled.

Selecting the Preferred Heading Source

NOTICE

For best results, use the autopilot CCU internal compass for the

heading source. Using a third-party GPS compass can cause

the data to be delivered erratically and may result in excessive

delays. The autopilot needs timely information, and therefore

cannot often use third-party GPS compass data for GPS

location or speed. If a third-party GPS compass is used, the

autopilot will likely report loss of navigation data and speed

source periodically.

If you have more than one heading source on the network, you

can select a your preferred source. The source could be a

compatible GPS compass or a magnetic heading sensor.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup >

Preferred Sources

Select a source.

If the selected heading source is unavailable, the autopilot

screen does not display any data.
