Setting the hard-over time

On vessels without a rudder reference transducer, it is important to set a Hard Over Time.
Before attempting to follow this procedure ensure you have read and understood the Rudder Check warning provided in this document.
To estimate your hard over time follow the steps below:
  1. With the autopilot in Standby, manually turn the rudder / engine full to port. (For vessels with power steering the engine should be running when turning the rudder.)
  2. Open the sidebar by swiping right from the left side of the screen.
  3. Switch to the Pilot sidebar.
  4. Engage Auto mode.
  5. Press the +10 button on the Pilot bar 9 times to ensure that the rudder moves hard over to starboard.
  6. Count how many seconds it takes for the rudder to move from hard over port to hard over starboard. This is your hard over time.
  7. Enter your hard over time in the. The hard over time setting can be accessed from the Pilot set-up menu: Homescreen > Settings > Autopilot > Pilot set-up > Hard over time.
  8. After setting the hard over time, observe the autopilot’s behavior and if required, make small adjustments to the Hard over time value until a satisfactory result it achieved.
