Display: Sets how the laylines and vessel are shown on the chart, and sets the length of the laylines.

Sailing Ang.: Allows you to select how the device calculates laylines. The Actual option calculates the laylines using the measured wind angle from the wind sensor. The Manual option calculates the laylines using manually entered windward and leeward angles.

Tide Correction: Corrects the laylines based on the tide.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth from the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location. Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may draw several feet of water.

1Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line , measure

À

the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel ,

Á

measure the distance from the transducer to the water line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative number.

2Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.

3Select or based on the location of the transducer.

4 Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Sailboat Autopilot Operation

CAUTION

When engaged, the autopilot controls only the rudder. You and your crew remain responsible for the sails while the autopilot is engaged.

In addition to heading hold, you can use the autopilot to maintain a wind hold. You can also use the autopilot to control the rudder while tacking and gybing.

Wind Hold

You can set the autopilot to maintain a specific bearing relative to the current wind angle. Your device must be connected to a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 compatible wind sensor to perform a wind hold or a wind-based tack or gybe.

Setting the Wind Hold Type

Before you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.

For advanced autopilot configuration, see the installation instructions included with your autopilot.

1From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Wind Hold Type.

2Select Apparent or True.

Engaging Wind Hold

Before you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.

When the autopilot is in standby mode, select Wind Hold.

Engaging Wind Hold from Heading Hold

Before you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.

With heading hold engaged, select Menu > Wind Hold.

Adjusting the Wind Hold Angle with the Autopilot

You can adjust the wind hold angle on the autopilot when wind hold is engaged.

•To adjust the wind hold angle in increments of 1°, select or

.

•To adjust the wind hold angle in increments of 10°, hold or

.

Tack and Gybe

You can set the autopilot to perform a tack or gybe while heading hold or wind hold is engaged.

Tacking and Gybing from Heading Hold

1Engage heading hold (Engaging the Autopilot).

2 Select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Tack Gybe.

3 Select a direction.

The autopilot steers your boat through a tack or gybe.

Tacking and Gybing from Wind Hold

Before you can engage wind hold, you must have a wind sensor installed.

1Engage wind hold (Engaging Wind Hold).

2 Select Menu > Tack Gybe.

3 Select Tack or Gybe.

The autopilot steers your boat through a tack or gybe, and information about the progress of the tack or gybe appears on the screen.

Setting a Tack and Gybe Delay

The tack and gybe delay allows you to delay steering a tack and gybe after you initiate the maneuver.

1From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Tack Delay.

2Select the length of the delay.

3 If necessary, select Done.

Enabling the Gybe Inhibitor

NOTE: The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually performing a gybe using the helm or step steering.

The gybe inhibitor prevents the autopilot from performing a gybe.

1Select Menu > Autopilot Menu > Autopilot Setup > Sailing Setup > Gybe Inhibitor.

2Select Enabled.
