Set X11vnc cursor to show local system cursor [SOLVED]

In the Alt-Ctl-M menu there is an option to

Show local cursor when not provided by server: Cursor type System

How do I set these cursor option in the X11vnc startup options.

My script show

x11vnc -ncache 10 -ncache_cr -noxdamage -cursor arrow -repeat -multiptr -display :0 -usepw -modtweak -forever -loop -o /home/andrew/.local/tcltk/x11vnc &

Thanks in advance
