designed as the main controller for the SmartPilot system.
The SmartPilot controller operates in the following modes:
•
Standby:
SmartPilot off. You have manual control of the boat.
•
Auto:
The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading.
•

The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two way-
points created on a navigation aid.
•
Wind Vane:
The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a
true or apparent wind angle.
The SmartPilot controller also provides:
• automatic tack (AutoTack) in Auto and Wind Vane modes.
• waypoint advance feature in Track mode.
SmartPilot Functions
The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the
SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor.
