Boat Path
Change Heading with Zigzags
If you program the
Idle/Resume
button for Zigzags (other), then when you press the
Idle/Resume
button the pilot will begin to zigzag about the heading you were on when you pressed the button. The
zigzag angle and period are both programmable. An example zigzag path is shown in the figure below.
Automatic idle and resume is accomplished by pressing the
Idle/Resume
button. If the throttle is set
higher than idle, the Idle/ Resume function will take the engine to idle. If the throttle is sitting in the
idle position, the Idle/Resume function will return the throttle to the last "above idle" position. The
Idle/Resume
button must be programmed to perform Idle/Resume and not MOB or Zigzags.
Idle/Resume
Increase throttle by pressing the
Up Arrow
button. Decrease throttle by pressing the
Down Arrow
button. The electric throttle runs in parallel with the tiller throttle, this means that you can't reduce
the RPM with the electric throttle if the tiller throttle is set high. It is best to always run with the tiller
throttle set to idle.
Be careful to set the electric throttle and tiller throttle to closed position before starting
your outboard.
