Quick Tip

Using the PORT and STARBOARD keys when in
AUTO mode allows you to power-steer your boat

Even when the autopilot is activated, you are are still able to override
it. If, for example, you encounter an obstacle, or you just wish to
change direction by a few degrees.

With the autopilot activated:

1. A brief press of the PORT or

STARBOARD key will make a
1º course change in that
direction. Use this method for
course changes up to 20º

2. A press and hold of the PORT

or STARBOARD key will
execute a controlled turn until
you release the button.
(SmartSteer)

3. The autopilot will now resume

on the new heading.
