It usually takes 2 - 3 min to attain GPS lock on first power-up at a new location and around
a minute when the boat is powered up in roughly the same area.
Step 6: To arm the A/P hold the rudder stick (the control stick on the right of the remote)
to the right for 8 sec until the LED turns solid Green.
Step 7: Return the rudder control stick to the center and lift the throttle stick to confirm
the motor responds and runs proportionally to the movement of the throttle lever.
IMPORTANT: Occasionally after switching the boat on, the LED on the Auto Pilot may only
flash blue for 1 - 2 sec, then start flashing green. This usually means that arming is
permitted. Directly after arming the LED may start to flash red which indicates that GPS
lock is disputed. It may take up to 1 min for the GPS to verify the home position after which
the LED will turn green once more.
The boat should not be launched or moved while the LED is flashing Red.
Preserving Home Point Coordinates
Disarm the A/P without switching the boat off to preserve the Home point co-ordinates
data stored when the boat was last powered-up. Turning the boat off with the main power
switch on the boat deletes the GPS data and will require a full restart procedure to attain
GPS lock for the RTL feature to function.
To disarm the A/P without turning off the boat follow these steps:
Step 1: Set the remote to neutral mode i.e Sail Mode switch in position 2 and rudder trim
control centered.
Step 2: Hold the rudder stick fully to the left for 8 sec.
Step 3: When disarmed the LED display will flash green continually until it is rearmed
using the remote as described above. The remote can now be safely switched OFF until
the next run.
IMPORTANT: The remote must NEVER BE SWICHED OFF WHILE A/P IS ARMED. This will
trigger the Signal Failsafe after 30 sec. The failsafe will start the motor, which will run at a
high RPM. Running the boat’s motor out of water for more than few seconds will cause the
drive shaft to overheat and likely damage the seal. This could result in water leaking into
the boat.
