The range is from 0 (No Counter Rudder) to 20 (Maximum Counter Rudder).

Trim

Normally, if the rudder is amidships the vessel will travel in a straight line. Often something will cause the
vessel to drag to one side, for example the wind, towing something or current. To counteract this, a few
degrees of rudder will be applied, this is termed Trim or Standing Helm.
This setting adjusts the rate at which that standing helm is applied.
The higher the setting, the faster the standing helm is applied. This should be set so that the Pilot will trim
the vessel within 60 seconds. On single screwed vessel's or sailing yachts it is only possible to check the
Trim setting while using the craft when, for example, the prevailing conditions cause the vessel to steer with
offset rudder. The correct Trim adjustment setting for these types of vessel is therefore best found by expe-
rience.
To check the Trim adjustment with twin engine vessel's, run the boat under Pilot command with both engi-
nes running, then close down one engine. The vessel will initially go off course but should return to course
in less than 60 seconds. If the vessel takes a longer period of time to return to course then increase the value
set for Trim.

The range is from 0 (No Trim) to 10 (Maximum Trim) although if the Boat type is set to S S A A I I L L B B O O A A T T , the maxi-
mum is increased to 20.
Transition Speed (for Rudder Ratio)
The Transition Speed setting indicates to the Pilot when to increase rudder ratio, to give you greater rudder
movement for manoeuvring at slower speeds. As your speed changes the software creates a gradual adjust-
ment of Rudder ratio, instead of using the fixed Rudder ratio value. This obviously requires NMEA speed
information to be available to the PILOT BOX.
This setting is most beneficial for planing vessel's which need increasing rudder movement to maintain stee-
ring control when not on the plane.
Establish at what point, in knots, your vessel is comfortably on the plane. Enter the Pilot Configuration menu
and use the key to increase the Transition Speed setting to this value.
Above this value the Pilot will use the Rudder ratio setting. Below it, the amount of Rudder ratio is gradual-
ly increased, up to double, giving more control at slower speeds.
no trspd
The range is from NO TRSPD (no transition speed) to 50 knots in increments of 1 knot.
