to cancel the alarm and return to hand steering,
and steer onto the required heading.
2. Press

and

together to return to Vane mode with
the new apparent wind angle.
Using AutoTack in Vane Mode
The automatic tack function, when used in Vane mode, turns the
vessel so that the locked apparent wind angle is changed to an equal
angle on the opposite bow.
Initially, the autopilot turns the vessel through the specified tack
angle (the factory default is 100°). Then the locked heading is
adjusted until the required apparent wind angle is achieved.
• To tack to starboard, press the
+1
and
+10
keys together.
• To tack to port, press the
-1
and
-10
keys together.
Note: If you use the Autotack function in Vane mode, it is important to check
that the wind vane has been centred accurately when it was installed.
Also, the AutoTack feature cannot be adjusted if you are using a
Type 100/300 Course Computer.
