ST5000 Plus SailPilot Owner’s Handbook
Changing course in Auto mode
The +1 and +10 (starboard) and –1 and –10 (port) keys are used to
change the locked heading, in increments of 1° and 10°, when the
autopilot has control.
Example: a 30° course change to port = press –10 three times.
Dodging obstacles in Auto mode
In order to avoid an obstacle when your vessel is under autopilot
control, select a course change in the appropriate direction (for
example, port 30° = press –10 three times).
When safely clear of the obstacle, you can reverse the previous course
change (for example, press +10 three times), or return to the previous
locked heading (LAST HDG).
