WindTrim

In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of 
turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise 
performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind 
response (WindTrim) level in User Calibration (see 

page 24

) to control how 

quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher 
wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind 
changes. 

How do I select Wind Vane mode?

You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode:

1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.

2. Press 

w v

 to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current wind angle:

the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 

128°

) and the wind angle 

(e.g.

WIND 145P

 indicates an wind angle of 145° to port)

if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving 
wind data - check the instrument and connections

            

3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to 

maintain the locked wind angle.

How do I leave Wind Vane mode?

You can leave Wind Vane mode by:

pressing 

auto

 to return to Auto mode

pressing 

standby

 to return to manual control
