Setting Up and Following the Cloverleaf Pattern

You can use the cloverleaf pattern to steer the boat to repeatedly pass over an active waypoint. When you begin
the cloverleaf pattern, the autopilot drives the boat toward the active waypoint and begins the cloverleaf
pattern.
You can adjust the distance between the waypoint and the location where the autopilot turns the boat for
another pass over the waypoint. The default setting turns the boat at a range of 1000 ft. (300 m) from the
active waypoint.
1 From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Pattern Steering > Cloverleaf.
2 If necessary, select Length, and select a distance.
3 Select Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Setting Up and Following a Search Pattern

You can use the search pattern to steer the boat in increasingly larger circles outward from the active waypoint,
forming a spiral pattern. When you begin the search pattern, the autopilot drives the boat to the active waypoint
and begins the pattern.
You can adjust the distance between each circle in the spiral. The default distance between circles is 50 ft.
(20 m).
1 From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Pattern Steering > Search.
2 If necessary, select Search Spacing, and select a distance.
3 Select Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Cancelling a Steering Pattern

• Physically steer the boat.
NOTE: Shadow Drive must be enabled to cancel a steering pattern by physically steering the boat.
• Select or to cancel a pattern using step steering mode.
• Select Standby.

Adjusting the Autopilot Response

The Response setting allows you to adjust the autopilot responsiveness for varying sea and wind conditions.

too much, decrease the value.
