Scenario

Description

For vessels without a rudder reference transducer:

Rudder limit is set to 30 degrees and can be adjusted as required using the Up and Down buttons or the Rotary controller.

For vessels with a rudder reference transducer:

The rudder alignment process establishes the rudder limit. The rudder limit will be displayed with a message confirming that the rudder limit has been updated.

If required, the limit can be adjusted using the Up and Down buttons or the Rotary controller.

Ensure that the rudder limit is sufficient to prevent the steering mechanism impacting the end stops and placing the steering system under unnecessary load.

It is recommended that the limit is set to approximately 5 degrees less then the maximum rudder angle.
