NOTICE
The ERC levers must be in neutral to perform a helm transfer. While in neutral your vessel could drift and collide with objects
nearby resulting in damage. Keep an adequate look out while performing the helm transfer.
To avoid damage, use extra care when attempting a helm transfer while the vessel is close to docks, piers, or other fixed items
or when near other vessels.
Requesting Helm Transfer
NOTE: Any movement of the joystick or ERC levers after pressing the "TRANSFER" button terminates the helm transfer request.
A single beep sounds and the transfer button light turns off signaling the end of the transfer request.
To request the transfer of vessel control from one helm to another:
1. At the helm you are requesting be made active and with the ERC levers in neutral, press the "TRANSFER" button one time.
After the "TRANSFER" button is pressed, the transfer button light blinks on and off and one beep will sound confirming the
impending transfer.

the helm transfer.
3. When the helm transfer is complete, another beep sounds and the transfer button light turns on.
NOTE: If the helm transfer is not completed in ten seconds the request is automatically cancelled and a double beep sounds.
Control will remain at the existing active helm. Press the "TRANSFER" button again to restart helm transfer.
4. The helm where the transfer request was initiated is now active and controls the vessel.
Helm Transfer and Precision Pilot
Transferring control from an active helm to an inactive helm (from one station to another station) affects the functionality of Precision
Pilot modes. Some of the affects are listed.
•
Auto Heading mode is disengaged when the ERC levers are moved to neutral for helm transfer. You must re‑engage Auto
Heading at the newly active helm.
• Requesting a helm transfer causes Autopilot to go to Standby mode.
• If engaged, Skyhook will disengage when the "TRANSFER" button is pressed the second time. You must engage Skyhook
at the the newly active helm.
• The Resume feature for Auto Heading does not transfer automatically. After engaging the previous Auto Heading course at
the newly active helm, the resume feature works the same as at any active station.
