dodge maneuver), you can return to the previous locked heading (the
most recent heading held for 20 seconds). To do this:

locked heading (LAST HEADING)for 10 seconds.The arrow will show
the direction the boat will turn.
2. To accept this heading, press
AUTO when the display is flashing.
Note: If you do not press
AUTO while the display is flashing, the autopilot
will maintain the current heading.
