Returning to the previous wind angle (LAST WND)
If you have steered the boat away from the selected wind angle for
any reason (such as a dodge maneuver or selecting Standby mode),
you can return to the previous locked wind angle:
1. Press
resm to display the previous wind angle (LAST WIND):
the
LAST WIND text alternates with the previous wind angle
and direction. The display shows the previous locked heading
and an indication of which direction the boat will turn
2. Check that it is safe to turn onto this course.
3. To accept this wind angle, press
standby and auto together
within 10 seconds.
Note: If you do not accept the previous wind angle within 10 seconds,
the autopilot will lock onto the current wind angle.
Dodges in Wind Vane mode
When the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode you still have full control
from the keypad.
Initiating a dodge maneuver
In Wind Vane mode, you can make a dodge maneuver by using the
course change keys (
-1, +1, -10 or +10) to select the desired course
change. The autopilot will adjust both the locked heading and locked
wind angle.
Cancelling a dodge maneuver
After you have avoided the hazard, you can reverse the previous
course change, or return to the previous wind angle (
LAST WIND).
