Chapter 7: Adjusting Autopilot Settings 857 Adjusting Autopilot SettingsWind selectionNote: Only available if vessel type = SAIL BOAT and appropriate winddata is available.This screen determines whether the boat steers to apparent or truewind in Wind Vane mode.WindTrim (wind response)Note: Only available if vessel type = SAIL BOAT.WindTrim (wind response) controls how quickly the autopilotresponds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settingswill result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes.Response levelThis is the default autopilot response level. The response levelcontrols the relationship between course keeping accuracy and theamount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes toresponse during normal operation (see page 7).OptionsWIND APP Autopilot steers to apparent wind angle (default):• the autopilot will maintain the apparent wind angleWIND TRUE Autopilot steers to true wind angle:• the autopilot will maintain the true wind angleScreen text OptionsWIND TRIM Range = 1 to 9Lower values (1 to 3) = autopilot responds to longer termwind changes (less pilot activity)Typical values = 4 to 6Higher values (7 to 9) = autopilot responds to shorter termwind changes (more pilot activity)
