Power Steer - Raymarine p70 User Reference

Accidental gybes
The gybe inhibit feature stops the vessel from turning away from the
wind if you accidently press the tack in the wrong direction, this will
prevent accidental gybes. This feature can be disabled if required.
Note: For the gybe inhibit feature to work, the SmartPilot needs
suitable wind information.
With gybe inhibit on:
• you will be able to perform an AutoTack through the wind.
• the autopilot will prevent the boat from performing an AutoTack
away from the wind, to prevent accidental gybes.
With gybe inhibit off:
• you can perform an AutoTack through or away from the wind.
Note: Gybe inhibit is switched on as a default but can be
disabled in the Sail boat settings menu: Main menu > Set up >
Autopilot calibration > Sailboat settings.

5.7 Power steer

Power steer mode enables you to use the rotary controller of the
p70r or a connected joystick to directly steer the vessel on manual
heading.
Power steer has 2 options:
• Proportional
— The rudder will behave in proportion to the movement of the
rotary control or joystick.
• Bang Bang (Joystick only)
— The rudder will move, and stay in the direction the joystick
is moved.
Engaging power steer mode
To engage Power steer mode:
1. Go to the Mode menu found in Main menu > Mode.
2. Highlight Power steer and press SELECT.
You can change the type of steering at any time i.e. Proportional
or Bang Bang by going to the Power steer settings in the Drive
settings menu: Main menu > Set up > Auto pilot calibration >
Drive settings > Power steer.
Note: In order to use Bang Bang mode a connected joystick is
required, the p70r rotary will only perform in Proportional mode.
