Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots
2.12Dodge in AUTO
Dodging is useful in situations where you need to quickly take control of the helm to steer around an obstruction, and then resume the previous set heading. Dodging is activated by a quick double press on the TURN/DODGE/INFO button.
When in DODGE mode the displayed set course is the last one set prior to activating the dodge function. When DODGE is displayed, the autopilot is no longer in control of the steering, and you must either manually steer the boat in STBY mode or take control using Non Follow Up or Follow Up steering. On manual steering (STBY mode) the clutch or bypass valve in the drive unit will be disengaged. The autopilot will remain in the DODGE mode until you exit DODGE by a second press on the TURN/DODGE/INFO button or select a mode.
