S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Operating Guide
1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat
CAUTION: Maintain a permanent watch
Automatic course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is
NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a
permanent watch by the helm.
CAUTION: Risk of gybe
Always be aware of the relative wind angle, especially when using
the autopilot to sail down wind.
How do I automatically steer to a heading?
1. Steady the boat on the required heading.
2.
Wheel Pilot:
Engage the wheel drive clutch by rotating the clutch lever
clockwise (so the lever
engages fully
onto the locating pip).
Tiller Pilot:
Place the pushrod end over the tiller pin. If necessary, extend or
retract the pushrod using the
