7.3 Autopilot response levels
The Evolution autopilot system features a number
of different response levels to help you quickly
congure the system for optimum performance for
the current conditions. In Wind Vane mode, Wind
Trim is automatically set by your selected response
level.
The available response levels are:
• Leisure — suitable for long passages where tight
heading control is not critical.
• Cruising — good course-keeping without
overworking the pilot.
• Performance — emphasis on tight heading
control.
You can change the response level at any time by
selecting MENU > Response Level. Then select
Save to keep the changes.
