Section 3 - On The Water
•
The horizontal and vertical displacement of the vessel from the cross hairs is proportional to the position error reported by
the GPS.
•
Each gradation of color in the circular target on the VesselView screen is equivalent to 5 meters of error. If the boat exceeds
20 meters of error, then the boat is located at the edge of the circle. The boat continues to try to correct until Skyhook is
disengaged.
Disengaging (Deactivating) Skyhook
IMPORTANT: Under most circumstances, both engines and drives must be operational to achieve acceptable Skyhook
performance. If the necessary reference signals from an engine or drive become unavailable, Skyhook automatically
disengages.
1.
To disengage the Skyhook, you must do one of the following:
•
Press the "SKYHOOK" button on the Axius Premier CAN Trackpad.
•
Move any ERC lever out of neutral.
•
Move the joystick.
NOTE: In each method, the light on the Axius Premier CAN Trackpad for the "SKYHOOK" button will turn off.
Auto Heading
Auto Heading allows the boat to automatically maintain a compass heading while the boat is underway.
Engaging Auto Heading
1.
Place at least one running engine in forward gear.
NOTE: Auto Heading does not function with the ERC levers in neutral or reverse.
2.
Steer the boat to the desired compass heading.
