Having completed the mechanical installation of the system, the
next step is to configure the ProPilot 700 for the characteristics of
your boat, because no two vessels are quite the same.
In order to use the pilot successfully, it is MANDATORY that you
carry out the Vessel Type and the Rudder Settings Routine.
Press and hold the ADJ key for three seconds until “CONF” is
displayed. Press the ADJ key to display the next option in the
menu. If you press the ADJ key after “RSET” you will return to
the beginning of the menu cycle “CONF”.
To return to the heading display, press the OFF key, and to return
to the same Pilot Configuration option press the ADJ key.
To exit the Pilot Configuration Menu press and hold the ADJ key
for three seconds, until a Sea State Adjustment option is displayed.
