Rudder Damping

If the autopilot is ‘hunting’ (i.e. continuously moving the steering backwards and forwards by small amounts) when trying to position the rudder, the rudder damping setting will require adjustment to minimize this.

Increasing the rudder damping value reduces hunting. The rudder damping value should be increased 1 level at a time until the autopilot stops hunting. Always ensure the lowest acceptable value is used.

If required the Rudder Damping setting can be adjusted from the Drive Settings menu: Menu > Set-up > Autopilot Calibration > Drive Settings > Rudder Damping.
