I said fine, but when it's my leg, we use the charts. I know who's sitting left seat but I also know whats right. He accepted it, and we carried on, with me watching the limitations, and also pulling out the charts each and every flight to tell him the company power settings.

If the CA ever operates outside of the SOP's then simply pull the book out on a long turn, and ask him to explain it to you (on a nice way)

Very last resort, if you cannot come to an agreement is to call the company for clarification. However in this industry, wrong as it is, you can end up in hotter water with other crew memebers for that.

Try the diplomatic route first. Other than that, maybe the CA should really not be there.
