62 | Autopilot operation
Using the autopilot in Standby mode
The autopilot must be in STBY mode when you steer the boat at
the helm.
You can switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any operation by
a short press on the STBY/AUTO key.
Power steering (NFU)
If you press the arrow keys when the autopilot is in STBY mode,
the system will switch to NFU (Non-Follow-Up). You can then use
the arrow keys to control the rudder, and the rudder will move
as long as the key is pressed.
You return to STBY mode by a short press on the STBY/AUTO
key.
Follow-up steering (FU)
You can select Follow-up steering from the Autopilot menu.
When FU is active you can use the rotary knob to set rudder
angle. The rudder will move to the commanded angle and then
stop.
While in Follow-up mode you cannot take manual control
of the wheel.
You return to STBY mode by a short press on the STBY/AUTO key.
AUTO mode (auto compass)
When the AUTO key is pressed, the autopilot selects the current
boat heading as the set course.
The autopilot will keep the boat on the set course until a new
mode is selected or a new course is set with the course knob or
the PORT or STBD keys.
Once the course is changed to a new set course, the boat will
automatically turn to the new heading and maintain the new
course.
Heading capture
When in AUTO or NoDrift mode the heading capture feature allows you to automatically
cancel the turn you are in by an instant press on the rotary knob. The autopilot will
cancel the turn to continue on the heading read from the compass the very moment you
pressed the rotary knob. This is a useful feature if you are not sure of the exact turn you
have to make to steer towards e.g. an inlet or a dock.
Turn pattern steering (power boats)
The autopilot includes a number of automatic turn steering features for power boats
when the pilot is in AUTO mode.
The turn steering option will not available if the boat type is set to sailboat.
