The
SAVE/MOB
key is used to save your current position as a waypoint.
It does this in either of two ways, depending on whether you press the
key briefly, or press and hold it.
Press the
SAVE/MOB
button briefly to simply store your position. This
new waypoint will automatically be given a name, such as –S002–,
where the letter S indicates a saved waypoint, and the 3-digit number
increases by one every time you save a waypoint.
The waypoint’s 3-digit number will “wrap around,” or revert, to –S001–
when the 941X has reached the limit you set using the
MAX SAVED
WPT #
function under
DISPLAY OPTIONS
(see page 80).
Press and hold the
SAVE/MOB
button for three seconds to enter “Man
Overboard” (MOB) mode. The 941X saves your position and displays it
in the plotter screen as an “X.” The plotter screen is locked on the dis-
play, showing your position and the MOB location. The MOB location
immediately becomes your current waypoint, with new bearing and dis-
tance information displayed on the right-hand side of the screen.

INVOKING MOB WHILE USING AN AUTOPILOT
Some autopilots will attempt to steer your boat according to
any bearing changes output by the 941X, regardless of the se-
verity of the change. Others automatically disengage when a
severe or abrupt turn is required. Please refer to your autopilot
manual for information regarding this procedure.
