WARNING
Avoid serious injury from collision with other boats, running aground, or striking objects in the water. Always maintain a diligent
lookout while the boat is operating in any Precision Pilot mode. The Precision Pilot system cannot react to avoid other boats,
shallow water, or objects in the water.
The Axius Premier Precision Pilot trackpad gives the operator control over the following modes:
• Skyhook—allows the boat to hold a position without lines or anchor
NOTE: The Skyhook feature is available pending boat manufacturer personality configuration. Some boat manufacturers do
not enable Skyhook from the factory. Other boats have external notification devices (installed and manufactured by the boat
builder) indicating the vessel is in Skyhook.
• Auto Heading—steers the boat on a fixed compass heading
• Track Waypoint—automatically pilots the boat on a predetermined route from the chart plotter or GPS unit. This can be a
single waypoint, or a series of waypoints assembled into a route. If following a route, at each waypoint transition, the system
will sound an alarm, which must be acknowledged before the boat will proceed to the next waypoint.
• Waypoint Sequence—similar to Track Waypoint, except the system will sound an alarm upon arriving at a waypoint and
transition automatically to the next waypoint on the route.
a - Skyhook
b - Turn to starboard
c - Waypoint Sequence
d - Not used
e - Track Waypoint
f - Auto Heading
g - Resume
h - Turn to port
The buttons on the Precision Pilot trackpad have the following functions:
