Understanding the Heading
Screen with the Autopilot
Engaged
When you engage the autopilot, the
autopilot takes control of the helm and
steers the boat to maintain your heading.
The top of the Heading screen displays
"Autopilot Engaged" in green, and your
heading is shown in the center. You can
use the soft keys to adjust the autopilot
heading manually or to adjust the
settings from the menu.
You can steer the boat manually from the
helm while the autopilot is engaged. The
autopilot does not steer the boat while
you have the helm, and the message
"You Have the Helm" flashes at the top
of the screen in yellow. If you manually
maintain a specific heading for a few
seconds, the autopilot resumes control
of the new heading, and the message
"Autopilot Engaged" is displayed at the
top of the screen.
