Initial Settings on NAVpilot-711C

(1) In the Installation Menu, access [Installation] –

[SHIP'S CHARACTERISTICS] – [BOAT TYPE] and

select [EVCS BOAT].

Selecting the [EVCS BOAT] will allow the NAVpilot-711C

system to communicate with the Seastar Optimus

system via the IF-NMEA2K2.

(2) Set the [Boat Length], [Cruising Speed], and [Rate

of Turn] to fit the boat's characteristics.

(3) Check that no detection failure message appears.

This confirms that the connection with EVC is

established.

Note: "Dockside Setup" and "Set Center Rudder

Position" setting is not displayed when "EVCS

Boat" is selected.
