ii ST7002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide
Your Raymarine SmartPilot will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment.
However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all
times by following these basic rules:
• Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual
control in an emergency.
• Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the autopilot.
• Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter
how clear the sea appears, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.
• Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a naviga-
tion aid or visual bearings.
• Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure
that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles.
Make proper allowance for tidal set – the autopilot cannot.
• Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a navigation
aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional plots. Navigation sig-
nals can produce significant errors under some circumstances and the autopi-
lot will not be able to detect these errors.
