Making course changes
Large course changes
When your boat is under autopilot control, you can override the pilot at any time
by steering the wheel in the normal way.
As soon as you release the wheel, the SportPilot automatically regains control to
maintain the boat’s current heading.
CAUTION:
You MUST center the helm after making large course changes. If
you do not center the helm, the autopilot could become unstable
or take a long time to settle onto the required heading.
Minor course changes
When your boat is under autopilot control, you can make minor course
adjustments in 1° increments by pressing the:
• -1° (Port) or
• +1° (Starboard) switches on top of the control stalk
Note:
You can also make course changes using an optional handheld remote control or
repeater autopilot control unit (if fitted).
