Initiating a turn
The illustration below shows how you start the spiral turn steering from the Autopilot menu.
You select the turn direction and start the turn by tapping the left or right keys or by using
the rotary knob.
Stopping the turn
You can at any time during a turn press the AUTO/STBD key to return to standby mode and
manual steering.
Turn variables
All turn steering options, except the C-turn, have settings that you may adjust before you start
a turn and at any time when the boat is in a turn. Refer to the example above.
U turn
U-Turn changes the current set course to be 180° in the
opposite direction.
The turn rate is identical to default rate of turn (ROT) setting.
This cannot be changed during the turn.
C-turn
C-turn makes the boat turn in a circle.
You can adjust the turn rate (ROT) before the turn is initiated
and during the turn. Increasing the turn rate makes the boat
turn a smaller circle.
Turn parameter
Rate of turn (ROT)
Spiral-turn
Spiral-turn makes the boat turn in a spiral with a decreasing or increasing radius. This feature
may be used for circling fish or when searching an object.
If the Change radius is set to zero, the boat will turn in a circle. Negative values indicate
decreasing radius while positive values indicate increasing radius.
