• To cancel the alarm and retain the existing wind angle and new
heading, press standby and auto together.
• Alternatively, to cancel the alarm and return to the previous heading,
either: adjust the locked wind angle using the -1, +1, -10 and +10
keys; or press standby to return to hand steering, steer onto the
required heading, and press standby and auto together to return to
Vane mode with the new apparent wind angle.
Using AutoTack in Vane mode
The automatic tack function tacks the vessel through a set angle (the
factory default is 100°). The locked heading can then be adjusted until
the required apparent wind angle is achieved.
• To tack to starboard, press the +1 and +10 keys together.
• To tack to port, press the -1 and -10 keys together.
Note: If you use the Autotack function in Vane mode, it is important to
ensure that the wind vane was centred accurately when it was
installed.
