2.15Dodge in NAV

When dodging in NAV mode, the course displayed as Course To Steer (CTS) is the boat’s recommended heading. However, the previous set course is stored by the autopilot. When DODGE is flashing on the display, the autopilot is no longer in control of the steering and you must either steer the boat manually or take control using either Non-Follow-up steering or Follow-up steering. On manual steering, the clutch (or bypass valve) in the drive unit will be disengaged when dodging. The autopilot will remain in the DODGE mode until you exit DODGE by a second press on the TURN/DODGE/INFO button or until you select another mode.

Perform dodging the same way as in AUTO mode above.
