Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot

2.1 Overview

WARNING:

Passage making under autopilot control is an enjoyable experience that can, if you are not careful, lead to the relaxation of the permanent watch. Always maintain a permanent watch no matter how clear the sea may appear to be.

•The tiller pilot always powers up in Standby mode (indicated by a flashing ‘C’ alongside the boat’s current compass heading).

•The tiller pilot is controlled using simple push-button operations, all of which are confirmed with a short beep. In addition to the main single key functions, there are several dual key operations.

•To select automatic steering:

•steady the boat on the required heading

•place the pushrod over the tiller pin (if necessary, extend or retract the pushrod using the -1, +1, -10, and +10 keys)

•press auto: the display will then show an ‘A’ alongside the current heading

•To return to manual steering at any time:

•press standby

•remove the pushrod from the tiller pin

•You can use the -1, +1, -10, and +10 keys to make course changes when the boat is under autopilot control.
