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.
