Transition to LO parameters with increasing speed: 10 Knots
Transition Speed set to 9 Knots
Transition to HI parameters with decreasing speed: 8 Knots
Sailboat
When sailing in WIND mode, the parameters are automatically changed by the direction of the wind as per below or by the boat speed.
The transition between HI and LO parameters and vice versa will have a different characteristics with regards to the wind angle compared with the transition controlled by the speed of the boat.
If you loose too much speed e.g. when tacking, the parameters will change to HI to gain sufficient rudder response. This should be observed when setting the transition speed on sailboats.
2.10Manual Parameter Selection
Manual selection of steering parameters is necessary if there is no speed input to the autopilot or if you want to override the automatic control.
