Autohelm
This boat is equipped with Raymarine
Autopilot. There is a limit to how much force the
Autopilot can provide. If the boat is yawing widely
from side to side it is time to turn off the Autopilot
and steer manually. Refer to the Autopilot manual
in ship’s library for more details.
NOTE: Autopilot does not steer around obstacles.
You are still required to keep a lookout and steer
the boat around obstacles like other vessels,
reefs, and land. Autopilot also does not give you
right of way
– you still must yield (or stand on)
according to right of way regulations.
The control panel is in the cockpit on the starboard side of the cockpit. The clutch is on
the helm station in front of the wheel port side.
