What is Counter Rudder?

Counter rudder is the amount of rudder your S1000 applies to try to prevent the boat from veering off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied. This can be set in the range 1 to 9.

To determine if your counter rudder setting is appropriate, make a 90º turn in AUTO mode

Counter Rudder is correct when you make a a smooth continuous turn with minimal overshoot.

Counter Rudder is too high when the boat ‘fights’ the turn and makes a series of short, sharp turns resulting in a very ‘mechanical’ feel as the boat changes course

Counter Rudder is too low when the boat overshoots the turn.
