[CA] [CA11] Hard over time question

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

riclevitt,

Q1. So please confirm that the 10 seconds it took move the rudder 60 degrees is my hard over turn.
A1. Correct. In fact, 10 seconds is the default time for this parameter.

Q2. I do not hear the autopilot motor activate for a couple seconds when first turned on.
A2. The autopilot's motor will not turn on unless it senses that a heading correction is required in conjunction with the response setting. A minor delay (a second or so) such as you have reported would also be considered normal for the Evolution wheel pilot.
