wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind
changes.
How do I select Wind Vane mode?
You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode:
1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.
2. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the
current wind angle:
• the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind angle
(e.g.WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145° to port)
• if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving
wind data - check the instrument and connections
3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to
maintain the locked wind angle.
How do I leave Wind Vane mode?
You can leave Wind Vane mode by:
•pressing auto to return to Auto mode
•pressing standby to return to manual control
How do I adjust the locked wind angle
You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 keys to
change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a
starboard tack:
•press -10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked
heading will both change by 10°
• the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain
the new wind angle
