Compass course control

To engage Compass course control

If Compass is displayed on the right of the LCD, simply press the AUTO key to turn the Pilot to Auto mode.
The Pilot will take the live compass heading as its Course to steer, and hold the vessel on that heading.
If Nav or Wind is displayed, press the MODE key repeatedly until the word Compass flashes. Press the
AUTO key to select Auto mode under Compass control, otherwise the pilot will return to its previous setting.
In an emergency, press and hold the AUTO key to turn the pilot off and regain manual control.
To make small changes to the course heading, whilst still in Auto mode, turn the Course Control knob. The
Pilot will turn the vessel onto the new heading.
To make large course changes, press the AUTO key to return the Pilot to Standby mode, steer the vessel
manually, then press the AUTO key again to engage the Pilot and continue on your new heading.

Tacking under Compass control

When the pilot is in Auto mode and the
the keys will change the Course to steer through a preset angle in that direction, effecting a Tack. The Pilot
will then hold course on this new heading. The angle of the Tack may be adjusted in the Pilot Configuration
menu (see page 63).
Press the key for a port Tack, left of your course. The new course is displayed by the LCD's large cha-
racters.
Press the key for a starboard Tack, right of your course. The new course is displayed by the LCD's large
characters.
The Tack function will not operate in Standby mode or when Menu settings are being altered.

Wind course control

Wind Control is only available when s s a a i i l l b b o o a a t t is selected as the Boat Type and an NMEA Windvane is fitted.

To engage Wind course control

If the word Wind is not displayed on the right side of the LCD, press the MODE key repeatedly until the word
Wind flashes .
Press the AUTO key to engage Auto mode under Wind Control, otherwise the pilot will return to using the
previous selection.
In an emergency press and hold the AUTO key to turn the pilot OFF and regain manual control.
The autopilot will now steer the vessel under Windvane control, to a course that maintains the
current wind angle. The pilot will adjust the vessel's course with any shifts in wind angle.
The heading display now shows the True wind angle relative to the vessel. So for example, 090 indicates
true wind on the starboard beam.
