Commissioning completeIf you have successfully completed the dockside preparation and seatrial calibration, the SPX system is now commissioned and ready for use.

After having used your SPX-5 Sport system, you may decide to change the value of some parameters to improve pilot performance with your boat. If you feel this is necessary, use the appropriate procedures under Manual setup, below.

Rudder gainBoats can vary widely in their response to helm, and by adjusting the rudder gain you can change the SPX-5 Sport systems steering characteristics. Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the SPX-5 Sport system applies to correct course errors higher settings mean more rudder is applied.
