Dodging
Dodging is useful in situations where you need to quickly take
control of the helm to steer around an obstruction, and then wish
to return to the previous set heading after performing the evasive
manoeuvre. Dodging is activated by a quick press on the
DODGE button.
When in DODGE mode the displayed set course is the last one
set prior to activating the dodge function. When DODGE is
displayed, the AP20 is no longer in control of the steering, and
you must either manually steer the boat in STBY mode or take
control using Non Follow Up or Follow Up steering. On manual
steering (STBY mode) the clutch or bypass valve in the drive
unit will be disengaged. The AP20 will remain in the DODGE
mode until you exit DODGE by a second press on the
TURN/DODGE button or select another mode.
