10 RayPilot 650 Control Unit - Owner’s Handbook
2 Using the RayPilot 650
2.4 Power steer
Power steer mode allows full control of the boat’s helm via the
course change knob. If you require helm to port simply rotate the
knob to port, helm to starboard turn the knob to starboard. The
RayPilot 650 provides a continuous display of rudder position,
allowing you to position the helm accurately for steering in any
situation.
Features
In Power Steer mode, the RayPilot 650 displays:
•
POWER STEER legend
• compass heading and rudder angle
• boat speed (if available)
2.5 Manual override (AutoRelease) - sterndrives only
Manual override is automatically enabled when vessel type 4
(sterndrive) is selected. It must only be used on installations fitted
with the stern drive actuator. When it has been selected, the RayPilot
can be overridden to allow hand steering by turning the steering
wheel. This will return the RayPilot to Standby mode and sound the
control unit buzzer for 10 seconds.
There is a slight delay before the Raypilot will return to Standby.
Excessive force is not required and will not reduce this delay.
CAUTION:
The manual override is intended for emergency use only. The
RayPilot should normally be disengaged by pressing
STBY on the
control unit.
