Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation

1.1 Introduction

The SmartPilot controller is a SeaTalk® compatible autopilot control unit. It is
designed as the main controller for the SmartPilot system.

The SmartPilot controller operates in the following modes:
Standby: SmartPilot off. You have manual control of the boat.
Auto: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading.
Track: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two way-

points created on a navigation aid.

Wind Vane: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a

true or apparent wind angle.

The SmartPilot controller also provides:
• automatic tack (AutoTack) in Auto and Wind Vane modes.
• waypoint advance feature in Track mode.

SmartPilot Functions

The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the
SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor.
