Sea Trial Wizard
The Sea Trial Wizard configures the fundamental sensors on the
autopilot, and it is extremely important to complete the wizard in
conditions appropriate for your boat.
Important Sea Trial Wizard Considerations
The Sea Trial Wizard must be completed in calm water.
Because the nature of calm water is relative to the size and
shape of the boat, before you begin the Sea Trial Wizard, the
boat must be in an appropriate location.
• The boat must not rock while sitting still or moving very
slowly.
• The boat must not be significantly affected by the wind.
While completing the Sea Trial Wizard, observe these
considerations.
• Weight on the boat must remain balanced. While completing
any of the steps in the Sea Trial Wizard, do not move around
on the boat.
Performing the Sea Trial Wizard
1
Drive your boat to an open area of calm water.
