Propulsion - Regal 42SC Owner's Manual

Typical Autopilot
The autopilot was developed specifi cally for the Volvo
Inboard Performance System and Joystick system which
is the propulsion type used on your Regal yacht.
If installed, the autopilot is part of the onboard marine
network and therefore can be programmed to maintain a
course through the chartplotter route. Easy-to-use setup
provides carefree auto-guided navigation in open waters.
Autopilot Operation
The autopilot continuously adjusts the steering on your
yacht to maintain a constant heading. The unit can be
programmed for both automatic and manual steering
functions and patterns.
Before using the auto pilot, be sure to read and under-
stand the autopilot operation manual located in the own-
er's information packet.
