2 Using the RayPilot 650
2.9 Joystick operation
The optional joystick (part number: M81161) provides simple
power-assisted manual steering when the RayPilot 650 is used with
a Type 100 or Type 300 course computer.
Note: This feature is not available on Type 150/150G or
Type 400/400G course computers
CAUTION:
Before use, familiarize yourself with joystick operation.
On power boats, always gain experience at low speeds before
using the joystick at higher speeds.
Basic operation
The autopilot system must be switched on at the main circuit breaker
before the joystick can be operated.
To engage joystick control, press the control button (located in the
center of the lever) once. The RayPilot 650 will then display a
POWER STEER legend along with the current heading.
The joystick can operate in either Proportional or Bang-Bang mode.
You can select the required type is set up in Calibration mode.
Proportional mode
Proportional mode applies rudder in proportion to joystick
movement. The further the joystick is held over the greater the
applied rudder (see illustrations on next page).
