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 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, and display text on how to
adjust the engine and drives to achieve maximum efficiency.
• Pressing any button on the autopilot CAN trackpad, 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.

Autopilot Screens Navigation

Autopilot screens will have a modified navigation system. Information will be displayed on two pages of data. Page indicators
and X will be the only selections available.
• Page 1 will contain base autopilot information.
• Page 2 will contain additional navigation data.
• Use the X to hide autopilot data and display the autopilot mode in the system status field. This allows other information to
be displayed in the user‑selected data area.
