WARNING
In some Precision Pilot modes—"Auto Heading," "Track Waypoint," and "Waypoint
Sequence"—the boat navigates a preset course. The boat does not automatically
respond to hazards such as other watercraft, obstacles, swimmers, or underwater
terrain. Collision with these hazards could cause boat damage, serious injury, or death.
The operator must stay at the helm, ready to evade hazards and warn others of course
changes.
Auto Heading allows the boat to automatically maintain a compass heading while the boat
is underway.
ENGAGING AUTO HEADING
1. Place at least one running engine in forward gear.
NOTE: Auto Heading does not function with the ERC levers in neutral or reverse.
2. Steer the boat to the desired compass heading.
3. Press the "AUTO HEADING" button to engage the Auto Heading mode. The button
illuminates and a single horn beep sounds acknowledging engagement. A double horn
beep sounds if Auto Heading does not engage.
