Depth Contour
Steering to a depth contour is also an AUTO mode feature. With 
input from an echo sounder, the autopilot can be set to steer the 
boat to a set depth. This is very useful if you want to follow a 
depth contour.

Rocky waters
Slope Narrow

Caution !
Do not use this feature unless the seabed is suitable. Do not use 
it in rocky waters where the depth is varying significantly over 
a small area. 
Ensure that the depth-turn pattern has been selected under the 
User Set-up menu. Refer to Turn Pattern select on page 55. 
Make sure you have depth reading available in the system. Press 
the TURN/DODGE button repeatedly until DEPTH is flashing 
in the display. The actual depth reading is shown on the display.
