Autopilot Screens

Autopilot Screens Overview

VesselView is a display extension for autopilot features and joystick operations. All functionality of these piloting features are
controlled through the Mercury Marine's autopilot control area network (CAN) pad. VesselView will show if the mode is active or
in standby; pop ups will appear as the vessel arrives at a waypoint asking to acknowledge the turn, display text on how to
adjust the engine and drives to achieve maximum efficiency.
• Pressing any button on the autopilot CAN track pad, VesselView will default to displaying the autopilot screen.
• Autopilot will be actively displayed when this feature is turned on. All modes and function are controlled with the CAN pad.
