10 SportPilot and SportPilot Plus - Owner’s Handbook
2 Operating the SportPilot
Disengaging the pilot
You can disengage the SportPilot at any time by turning the rotary
control switch to
STANDBY.
Making course changes
Large course changes
When your boat is under autopilot control, you can override the pilot
at any time by steering the wheel in the normal way.
As soon as you release the wheel, the SportPilot automatically
regains control to maintain the boat’s current heading.
CAUTION:
You MUST center the helm after making large course changes. If
you do not center the helm, the autopilot could become unstable
or take a long time to settle onto the required heading.
Minor course changes
When your boat is under autopilot control, you can make minor
course adjustments in 1° increments by pressing the:
• -1° (Port) or
• +1° (Starboard) switches on top of the control stalk
Note: You can also make course changes using an optional handheld
remote control or repeater autopilot control unit (if fitted).
