h2000 Autopilot User Manual

Part 2 - Operating Information

HB-0842-04

2-21

There are two joystick steering options available to the helmsman:

(a) Normal Steering (Norm) - The rudder moves in the
direction of the joystick. When the joystick returns to the
central position the rudder movement stops. The greater
the movement of the joystick, the faster the response of
the rudder.

(b) Proportional Steering (Prop) - The position of the
rudder follows the position of the joystick. When the
joystick returns to the central position the rudder returns
to its initial position.

2.7.2

Engaging the Autopilot

Turn the wheel until the rudder is in the amidships position, and
then press the separate Red Joystick Button.

Notes
1. Joystick mode can only be engaged by using the Joystick
Button.

2. When the Autopilot is engaged in Joystick mode the rudder
position (at the moment of engaging) will be the central (null)
position of the joystick. Ensure that the rudder is at the amidships
position before engaging the Autopilot.

USER TIP
To counteract any external influences on the steering, e.g. wind
and tide, steer the boat on to a straight and steady course before
engaging the Autopilot. This is only true so long as the same
course is maintained.
