x ST6000 Plus Autopilot Control Unit Owner’s Handbook
The following rules should always be observed:
• Maintain a permanent watch and regularly check all around for
other vessels and obstacles to navigation – no matter how clear the
sea may appear a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.
• Maintain an accurate record of the vessel’s position either by use of
a radio navigation receiver or visual bearings.
• Maintain a continuous plot of position on a current chart. Ensure
the locked autopilot heading steers you clear of all obstacles. Make
proper allowance for Tidal Set – the autopilot cannot!
• Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired Track using a
radio navigation receiver, always maintain a log and make regular
positional plots. Radio navigation signals can produce significant
errors under some circumstances and the autopilot cannot detect
this situation.
• Make sure that all members of crew are familiar with the
procedures to disengage the autopilot.
Your Raytheon autopilot will add a new dimension to your boating
enjoyment. However, it is the responsibility of the skipper to
ensure the safety of the vessel at all times by careful observance of
these basic rules.
