unit

Note ! The information in section 2.3 only applies if your autopilot is driving a Simrad MSD50 Stern Drive.

The MSD50 Stern drive unit has a relative feedback signal which needs a zero point setting after the autopilot has been turned on. Refer to the MSD50 manual for further information.

Note ! If you do not need a rudder angle display when leaving the dock, just steer the boat manually on a straight course and press the AUTO button. The zero point is then set automatically.

If you prefer to use the rudder angle display when leaving the dock, proceed as follows:

After turn on the rudder angle display will alternate between 10 degrees port and starboard to indicate that the "rudder" zero point need be set.
