Setting the Power Saver
You can adjust the level of rudder activity.

Select a percentage.
Selecting a higher percentage reduces rudder activity and
heading performance. The higher the percentage, the more
the course deviates before the autopilot corrects it.

Power Saver percentage reduces rudder activity.
Enabling Shadow Drive
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.
