2.15 Dodging

The AP35 also provides the capability for dodging.
Dodging is useful in situations where you need to quickly take control of the
helm to steer around an obstruction, and then wish to return on the previous
set heading after performing the evasive manoeuvre. A quick double press
on the TURN/DODGE button activates dodging.
When in DODGE mode the course displayed is the current boat's heading,
however, the previous set course is remembered by the AP35. When
DODGE is displayed, the AP35 is no longer in control of the steering, and
you must either manually steer the boat or take control using either Non
Follow Up steering or Follow Up steering. On manual steering the clutch (or
bypass valve) in the drive unit will be disengaged when dodging. The AP35
will remain in the DODGE mode until you exit DODGE by a second press
on the TURN/DODGE button or select another mode.

2.16 Multiple station system

In normal operation of multiple control units, control is accessible from
every control unit connected to the AP35 system. One control unit is "active"
and provides the user with access to all functions and enables the user to
change modes and set the course for automatic course keeping. All
remaining control units are "inactive" and have no effect on mode changes or
course selection. A single push of either the STBY (or AUTO or NAV)
buttons on an "inactive" control unit will allow transfer of command and
make it "active".
