Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 5
1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat
CAUTION: Maintain a permanent watch
Automatic course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is
NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a
permanent watch by the helm.
How do I automatically steer to a heading?
1. Steady the boat on the required heading.
2. Press auto.
The SmartPilot is now in AUTO mode and will steer to the chosen heading,
shown on the display. This mode is often known as “point-and-shoot”.
How do I return to hand steering?
Press standby to disengage the SmartPilot:
•in STANDBY mode, you have manual control of the boat and the display
shows the boat’s current compass heading.
How do I change course in Auto mode?
In Auto mode, use the -1 and -10 (port) and +1 and +10 (starboard) buttons to
change the locked heading in steps of 1° or 10°. For example: press
-10 three
times for a 30° course change to port.
