1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat

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”.

CAUTION:
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 return to hand steering?

Press standby to disengage the SmartPilot:

in STANDBY mode, you have manual control of the boat and the dis-
play shows the boat’s current compass heading.
