Autopilot
The following directions do not replace the instructions provided in the manufacturer’s use
and maintenance manual, delivered separately.
•
It is a device that, once fixed the course, enables the automatic boat steering.
•
The Grand Soleil 45’ is equipped with an electro-hydraulic autopilot which consists of: a
hydraulic cylinder, which directly controls the steering wheel; a control panel, near the
cylinder; a hydraulic oil tank. Everything is located in the aft peak.
•
The switch enabling the autopilot electrical supply is located in the 12 Vdc electrical panel
and is called
AUTOPILOT (see page 51).
•
The autopilot controls are located in the autopilot control panel and are positioned according
to the shipowner directions.
Warning and caution
•
We remind you that when the autopilot is working, it makes the steering wheel move too.
Therefore, be very careful not to get any part of your body, especially your hands, arms or
clothes accidentally caught in the steering wheel spokes. Also pay attention to any object
that could hamper the steering wheel rotation, as ropes, sheets, etc.
•
Do not force the steering wheel when the autopilot is working.
•
The autopilot hydraulic cylinder, if necessary, can be easily removed from the helm.
•
The autopilot helps the crew but does not replace them; therefore it is advisable that
at least one member of the crew stays alert on the deck to promptly step in if
necessary, especially to avoid hitting other boats.
