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 rotary control to change the locked heading. For example,
turn the rotary control anti-clockwise for a course change to port.
