Setting
Options
Levels 1 to 3
Minimize the amount of pilot
activity. This conserves
power, but may compromise
short-term course-keeping
accuracy.
Levels 4 to 6
Should give good course
keeping with crisp, well
controlled turns under normal
operating conditions.
Levels 7 to 9
Gives the tightest course
keeping and greatest
rudder activity (and power
consumption). This can lead
to a rough passage in open
waters as the SPX system
may ‘fight’ the sea.
