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 standby and auto together for 1 second to display the

previous wind angle (LAST WND?):

the LAST WND?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 WND?).
