7.6 Engaging the autopilot

Caution: Maintain a permanent
watch
Automatic course control makes it easier
to steer your vessel, but it is NOT a
substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS
maintain a permanent watch by the helm.
Automatically steering along a
heading
With Pilot Control enabled on your MFD:
1. Steady your vessel on the required heading.
2. For Wheel and Tiller drive systems follow the
instructions below to engage the mechanical
drive.
• Wheel Pilot: Engage the wheel drive clutch by
rotating the clutch lever clockwise (so the lever
fully engages onto the locating pip).
• Tiller Pilot: Place the pushrod end over the
tiller pin. If necessary, extend or retract the
pushrod by selecting Auto from the Pilot
Control Dialog and using the Left Arrow and
Right Arrow to adjust the rod's position.
Attention Always reach around (not through) the
wheel to operate the clutch lever.
3. Select Auto, if not already selected.
The autopilot will now automatically steer along
the chosen locked heading.
