• If the boat is on plane, and in Waypoint Sequence, the boat will make an automatic high‑speed, sharp turn upon arrival at
waypoint 2.
When the Track Waypoint feature is activated and the boat is put in operation:
• The operator must remain at the helm at all times.
• Do not leave the helm unattended. The feature is not designed to allow unattended operation of the vessel.
• Do not use Track Waypoint as the sole source of navigation.
IMPORTANT: Track Waypoint can only be used with chart plotters approved by CMD. Refer to your Authorized Cummins Dealer
or Distributor for this list of chart plotters.
Waypoint data needs to be provided to VesselView by a third party chart plotter. Refer to your chart plotter's user manual for
details.
The accuracy of the feature can be affected by environmental conditions and incorrect use. Observe the following information
when using the Track Waypoint and Waypoint Sequencing feature.
Waypoint data—distance settings
Between waypoints Greater than 1.0 nautical mile (1.15 mile)
Arrival alarms No less than 0.1 nautical mile (0.12 mile)
Engaging Track Waypoint Mode
To engage the Track Waypoint mode of Precision Pilot:
1. Turn on the chart plotter and select a single waypoint or waypoint route to be tracked.
2. Place at least one ERC handle in forward gear. Track Waypoint does not function if both handles are in neutral or reverse.
3. Manually steer the boat to the direction of the first waypoint and hold the boat steady at a safe operating speed.
!
CAUTION
Avoid injury from unexpected turns at high speeds. Engaging the Track Waypoint or Waypoint Sequence feature while on plane
can cause the boat to turn sharply. Confirm the direction of the next waypoint before engaging these autopilot features. When
underway in Waypoint Sequence mode, be prepared to take appropriate action when reaching a waypoint.
