1.7 MAN OVERBOARD BUTTON
Fig 1.4 - Man Overboard Button
The Man Overboard Button (MOB) is an optional extra that
activates the Autopilot Man Overboard Alarm Procedure to assist
in the recovery of the person, or persons, that may have been lost
overboard. It may be used when the Autopilot is engaged or
disengaged.
For this facility to operate, a speed sensor input must be available.
It will not work with a user entered fixed speed or Speed Over
Ground from a Position Fixer.
Sailboats, because of the need to tack or gybe, must use Manual
recovery. The bearing and distance displays must be followed and
the boat steered back, either manually or under Autopilot Control,
to the person(s) in the water.
Powerboats can use the Autopilot for Automatic Recovery. When
the MOB is operated the Autopilot will control the steering to
execute a ‘Williamson Turn’ and return the boat on a reciprocal
course.
