Boat Settings

Autopilot (Uppgradable)

The Autopilot, which has four modes, is an automatic piloting function that assists with steering and throttle operations to keep the boat moving to a desired point or heading. The Autopilot system is a device that assists with steering. The captain is responsible for safe navigation, and should carefully monitor his boat while underway.

• The operator is responsible for confirming there are no obstacles or shallow water along the route.
• This function does not avoid obstacles. It also does not automatically steer through waves. The operator must remain in the operator seat and monitor the surrounding conditions.

TIP:

• The autopilot feature can be used only when using Helm Master EX with Autopilot panel or Helm Master EX with Joystick.
• The Autopilot function is cancelled if the GPS antenna cannot receive a GPS signal.
• In addition to not being able to receive the GPS signal, the signal could become unreliable if a large building is nearby that reflects the satellite signal so accurate information cannot be received.
• For details about the autopilot feature, see the 6X9 Digital Electronic Control Owner's Manual.

To display the Autopilot screen:

1. Select Autopilot button on the engine data screen.

(A course is set to a hypothetical destination, and this course is maintained along the desired course, while compensations are done for the effects of current and wind.) TIP:
This mode is a function to keep the boat's heading at the time the mode is set. This mode cannot be turned on while the boat is rotating, or strong currents or wind are causing it to move sideways or reverses.

TRACK POINT
This mode moves the boat to its final destination along the transit points set on the MFD. Depending on the settings, it can slow down and stop when it reaches the final destination. It can change to a preset mode after it stops.

Your boat may not decelerate even if it goes past its final destination, according to the MFD.

Troubleshooting

My device will not acquire GPS signals

If your device is not acquiring GPS signals, there could be a few causes. If your device has moved a large distance since the last time it acquired GPS signals or has been turned off for a long time, your device may not be able to acquire the GPS signals correctly.

• Ensure your device is using the latest software. If the software is not up-to-date, update the software. Contact your Yamaha dealer for software updates.
• Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky so that the antenna can receive the GPS signal. If it is mounted inside a cabin, make sure it is close to a window so that it can receive the GPS signal.

My device will not turn on or keeps turning off

Devices erratically turning off or not turning on could indicate an issue with the power supply to your device. Check the following to determine the cause of the power supply problem:

• Check if the battery is charged. You can check the battery charge status by checking whether other devices powered by the battery are functioning.
• Check the power fuse.
  The fuse is located in a holder on the red wire of the power cable. Check that the correct amperage fuse is installed. See the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the appropriate amperage.
  Also make sure there is still a connection inside the fuse. Use a multimeter to check. If the fuse is good, the multimeter will read 0 ohm.
• Make sure that your device is supplied with a voltage of 10V or more (12V is recommended).
  To check the voltage, measure the DC voltage at the female power socket and the ground socket of the power cable. If the voltage is less than 10V, your device will not turn on.
• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact your Yamaha dealer.
