Waypoint Sequence - Mercury Axius Manual

Section 2 - On the Water
• There will be one long and two short beeps.
• The waypoint sequencing light will start blinking to inform the operator of the arrival.
• VesselView will change its displayed information.
2.
If it is safe to change course to the next waypoint, the operator should press WAYPOINT SEQUENCE to acknowledge the
waypoint. The autopilot will automatically turn the boat and maneuver to the new course.
3. If it is not safe to change course to the next waypoint, the operator should assume control of the vessel.
IMPORTANT: If the waypoint is not acknowledged or the operator does not assume control of the boat, the autopilot will
revert to auto heading and remain on its current course. The autopilot will continue on the course until the operator takes
control. If adequate lookout is not maintained, the boat may strike another boat, strike an object in the water, or run
aground.
4. If the waypoint is not acknowledged, the autopilot exits track waypoint mode and continues on its current heading in
autopilot mode.
5. At the end of the route, input a new waypoint or waypoint route, or take control of the boat. Otherwise, the autopilot reverts
to auto heading mode and continues to pilot the boat on its last heading.

Waypoint Sequence

IMPORTANT: Unlike track waypoint mode, waypoint sequence mode will automatically turn the boat upon arrival at a plotted
waypoint.
1. Turn on the chartplotter and select a waypoint route to be tracked.
2. Place both ERC levers into forward. Waypoint sequence mode will not engage if either levers are in neutral or reverse.
3.
If the track waypoint light is not on, press TRACK WAYPOINT.
4.
Press WAYPOINT SEQUENCE to engage the waypoint sequence mode.
