2.17 Dodge in NAV

When dodging in NAV mode, the course displayed as Course To
Steer (CTS) is the boat’s recommended heading. However, the
previous set course is stored by the AP25. When DODGE is
flashing on the display, the AP25 is no longer in control of the
steering and you must either steer the boat manually or take
control using either Non-Follow-up steering or Follow-up
steering. On manual steering, the clutch (or bypass valve) in the
drive unit will be disengaged when dodging. The AP25 will
remain in the DODGE mode until you exit DODGE by a second
press on the TURN/DODGE button or until you select another
mode.
Perform dodging the same way as in AUTO mode above.

Quick double press on
