Function
Description
Resume
Resumes previous auto heading course if the boat's direction has not been changed 90° or more.
NOTE: Moving the steering wheel will always override the autopilot, and the operator will assume control of the vessel. A slight
resistance in the wheel gives the operator feedback that he is taking control from the autopilot. Shifting using the electronic
remote control (ERC) lever will also disable the autopilot mode.
Transporting a Joystick Piloting for Outboard Boat
NOTICE
Avoid damage to the steering system from operation while locked. Turning the ignition key switches to the on or run positions
with the steering locks in place can cause serious damage to the steering system. Always remove the steering locks before
inserting the ignition keys into the switches.
The engines on a Joystick Piloting for Outboard boat are not connected by a tie bar and can move independently under the
force of gravity and the vibrations incurred during transport, making it possible for the engines to contact each other.
To avoid the possibility of the engines making contact during transport:
1. Place the engines in their normal operating position.
2. Remove all ignition keys.
3. Remove the propellers (optional on short moves).
4. Place a steering lock for trailering over the tie bar arm and link rod for each of the outer engines, as shown.
NOTE: For triple‑ and quad‑engine applications, the anticollision cables are sufficient to restrain the center/inner engines.
5. Ensure that the steering lock is fully seated over the link rod.
6. Secure the steering locks with the supplied clips.

The engines may be raised to their full trailering position with the steering locks in place.
IMPORTANT: Always remove the steering locks before inserting the ignition keys into the switches.
