Chapter 3: Adjusting SmartPilot Settings 51
Response level
This sets the default SmartPilot response level setting. The response level controls
the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive
activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation
(see
SmartPilot Operating Guide
).

This limits your boat’s rate of turn under SmartPilot control.

RESPONSE
Range = 1 to 9
level 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This con-
serves power, but may compromise short-term course-
keeping accuracy
levels 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp,
well controlled turns under normal operating conditions
level 9 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest
rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to
a rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may
‘fight’ the sea.
Screen Text Options
RESPONSE 1
AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat move-
ments and only react to true variations in course. This pro-
vides the best compromise between power consumption
and course keeping accuracy
RESPONSE 2
AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband)
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to
increased power consumption and drive unit activity
RESPONSE 3
AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping
by introducing counter rudder yaw damping
