with a message letting you know the rudder limit has been
updated.

Checking the motor (motor phasing checks)
The system will check the drive connection from the SmartPilot.
Once it has completed the check successfully, a message will
appear asking if it is safe for the system to take the helm.
Note:
For systems with a rudder reference transducer installed
this check shall follow the rudder checking, for systems without a
rudder reference this step shall follow the drive type selection.
