CAUTION:

Autopilot course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is
NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a
permanent watch, no matter how clear the sea appears to be.

Disengaging the autopilot (Standby mode)

1. Press standby.

•

in Standby mode, the display shows the boat’s current
compass heading.

2. Disengage the autopilot to return to hand steering:

•

Wheel Pilot: Disengage the wheel drive clutch by rotating the
clutch lever anti-clockwise (so the lever engages fully onto
the locating pip).

•

Tiller Pilot: Remove the drive unit from the tiller pin. If
required, retract the push rod using -1, +1, -10 and +10 keys.

3. The last heading is memorized and can be recalled (see page 9).

CAUTION: Wheel drive systems

On wheel drive systems, always make sure that the clutch is
FULLY DISENGAGED before you leave the boat.
