STEERING MODES This chapter describes the steering modes and functions of the NAVpilot. STBY Mode After turning on the power, the equipment goes to the STBY mode. This is a manual steering mode. When sailing into or out of a harbor, steer the vessel in the STBY mode by using the steering wheel (helm) of your boat.
2. STEERING MODES 2.2.1 How to get the AUTO mode To get the AUTO mode, do as follows: 1. Direct the boat toward required course. 2. Press the AUTO key to activate the AUTO mode. Your boat automatically maintains the current course when the AUTO key is pressed.
2. STEERING MODES 2.2.2 Advanced AUTO mode The AUTO mode keeps a set course, but your boat’s course can change by the effects of tide and wind. To adjust for the effects of tide and wind, use the Advanced AUTO mode.
2. STEERING MODES NAV Mode NAVpilot steers the vessel towards the current waypoint while compensating for the effects of tide and wind. When connected to a GPS navigator, NAVpilot steers the vessel to follow a series of waypoints in sequence. When you arrive at each waypoint or destination, audible and visual alerts are activated.
2. STEERING MODES 2.3.1 How to get the NAV mode To get the NAV mode, do as follows: 1. Set the destination waypoint (or route) on the GPS navigator or chartplotter. To navigate a route, make sure that your plotter is navigating towards the nearest or required waypoint before you put the NAVpilot into the NAV mode.
2. STEERING MODES 2.3.2 Sailing method for the NAV mode Your vessel can go off course between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can occur when, for example, a command is received from a remote controller. To return to the course set, three methods are available: [Course], [XTE (Precision)], and [XTE (Econ- omy)].
2. STEERING MODES 2.3.3 Waypoint switching method When you arrive at a waypoint on a route in the NAV mode, you can switch to the next waypoint automatically or manually. Select waypoint switching method as follows: 1. In the NAV mode, long press the key to show the menu.
2. STEERING MODES 2.3.4 How to set the steering behavior of your boat after you arrive to a waypoint When you arrive to the last waypoint in a route, the FishHunter mode can be acti- vated automatically to steer the boat according to the FishHunter mode preset.
2. STEERING MODES Response Feature The response feature provides for simple setting of the NAVpilot’s parameter to counter the effects of wind, etc. Normally, use the auto response feature (see section 2.4.1). If you feel that the auto response feature is not working properly, adjust the response feature manually (see section 2.4.2).
2. STEERING MODES TURN Mode The TURN mode has two types: normal turn and FishHunter mode turn. For Fish- Hunter mode turn, see section 2.6. Note 1: Turn mode is not available with a sailboat.

7. INITIAL SETTINGS Guidelines for how to set [Sea State] [Weather]: When the sea is rough, the boat's heading fluctuates to port and starboard. If the rudder is driven very often to maintain the set course, the helm mechanism may wear out.
7. INITIAL SETTINGS [Counter Rud.]: If the boat is heavily loaded, the heading could change excessively because of inertia. This phenomenon causes the vessel to "overshoot" the intended course. If this happens, the NAVpilot will steer the rudder to the opposite side and the heading will turn in the opposite direction excessively again.
