• if the rudder gain setting is too high, the 40° course change<br />
will result in a distinct overshoot of more than 5° and there<br />
may be a distinct ‘S’ in the course (A)<br />
Correct this oversteer by reducing the rudder gain setting.<br />
• if the rudder gain is too low, the boat’s performance will be<br />
sluggish – it will take a long time to make the 40° turn and<br />
there will be no overshoot (B)<br />
Correct this understeer by increasing the rudder gain setting.<br />

Adjusting the counter rudder<br />
D3262-2<br />
If you intend to use RESPONSE level 3 on a Type 150/400<br />
(non-GyroPlus) or Type 100/300 autopilot system, you will need to<br />
adjust the counter rudder. Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the<br />
autopilot applies to try to prevent the boat from yawing off course.<br />
Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied.<br />
To check the counter rudder setting<br />
1. Set RESPONSE to level 3.<br />
2. Sail your boat at cruising speed in clear water<br />
3. Press auto to switch the autopilot to Auto mode, then make a<br />
90° course change:
