When you start navigating from an application (chart, steering,
radar, and so on) you are prompted to engage the autopilot in Nav.
mode.
You can also initiate Nav. mode from the Autopilot Controller
after navigation is started.
When you reach the destination, the autopilot switches to your
Arrival mode setting. Refer to "Autopilot settings" on page 104.
Trolling motor speed control
In navigation modes (Heading lock mode, Nav. mode, and Turn
pattern steering) there are two ways to control speed:
• Prop - selects a target propeller rate (percentage of power)
shown as “%” in the Autopilot information bar.
• Cruise - selects a target cruise control speed shown as “mph” or
“kn” in the Autopilot information bar.
Ú
Note: Cruise set speed sets the target speed for your vessel.
Your vessel may not be able to achieve the set target. The
Cruise set speed (not your current speed) is displayed in the
Autopilot information bar.
Speed adjustments
You can make speed adjustments on the Heading lock and
Navigation control dialogs by selecting the Spd up (+) and Spd
down (-) buttons, or by selecting the Set Spd or Set prop option
and entering your desired speed or propeller rate.
