The cycle consists of multiple full stoke activations while the boat is at rest. This will mechanically scrape off marine growth from the blades. In Auto mode, the system is capable of adjusting the heel in a turn based on a predetermined value which depends on the boat model. This keeps the boat more upright in sharp turns and allows for a true turn, i.e. when people aboard feel no sideway forces during...
