Using Pattern Steering

The autopilot can steer the boat in preset patterns for fishing, and can also perform other specialty maneuvers such as U-turns and man-overboard retrieval. Use the GHC 10 to begin pattern steering.

Using Pattern Steering

Pattern steering is not based on GPS, and can be used without a GPS unit connected to the autopilot.

To cancel the pattern, you can physically steer the boat, use the soft keys to manually adjust the heading, or press the STBY button.

caution: You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not begin a pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of obstacles.

To begin pattern steering:

1.From the Heading screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering, and choose a pattern.

2.Select Engage to begin the pattern with the default values.

OR

Select Setup to adjust the values of the pattern.

3.Choose the direction of the pattern if prompted.

Note: If the pattern has only one setting, the setting name appears instead of Setup. If no settings are available for the pattern, Setup will not be available.
