2.6 POWER

STEER

2.6.1 Introduction

Power steer is available with all Autopilot configurations for
sailboats and powerboats, and allows the helmsman to directly
control the boat’s rudder by either the Autopilot Display Unit keys
or the Hand-held Controller. When in Power Steer mode, the
Autopilot control software is by-passed and the key operations
directly control the rudder drive unit.

USER TIP
Power steer can be used in an emergency if the normal manual
steering became defective.

2.6.2

Selecting Power Steer Mode

At any Autopilot Display, press the key next to the MODE legend
until POWER appears on the top line.
