6. Rudder coefficient Principle the Gyropilot processor automatically adjusts the value of the rudder angle to apply which is proportionally opposite to the boat speed The faster the boat sails the lower the rudder angle This can be tuned to achieve best results by modifying the rudder coefficient between the 1 and 53 value range The higher the value is the greater the rudder angle proportionally to boat speed The default setting is 6 which is valid for a 30 footer Examples a Figaro 2 or similar boat will require this factor to be 15 for a 60 footer it can be 20 and a multihull will be better with 30 Note if there is no boat speed data on the Topline bus the Gyropilot uses SOG Speed Over Ground if available A good way to learn the effect of this value setting is to enter an extreme value i e 50 and note the different behaviour of the boat before and after the setting change Counter rudder gain When you are steering you will often apply counter rudder by moving the rudder to the opposite direction allowing the heading to be maintained without overshoot The pilot can be set up to control the boat in a similar way and the importance of this feature will depend on the type of boat and sea conditions The boat rotation speed measured by the gyrometer embedded in the Gyropilot processor is used to provide this feature The factory default setting is AUTO This adjusts automatically with the gain The setting value ra
