[DG11] Rudder Damping on EV-200
Hello,

Is the Rudder Damping still adjustable on the EV-200? I have the EV-200 system with ACU-200, EV-1, P70R, with an Octopus Type R with Rudder Reference sensor installed on my 18 foot bowrider with an I/O. While trolling at 2mph, it seems sometimes the autopilot is working against itself. It will turn 1/2-3/4 turn to port, then immediately 1/2-3/4 turn to starboard without ever re-centering or allowing the boat to react before it corrects again. This causes the boat to "S" through the water."

I have moved the EV-1 sensor core to a location with 8 degrees of deviation and reset the compass and performed the dockside wizard. It does a pretty good job of keeping the boat straight, but as mentioned above, it certainly works against itself. In searching, I found the FAQ that suggests increasing the Rudder Damping by going to Menu > Auto Pilot Calibration > Drive Settings > Rudder Damping but when I go in that menu I don't have the option. Was this adjustment removed?

Regards,

Bob
