4 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide
What does the display tell me?
The SmartPilot display screen provides the following information:
The bar graph at the bottom of the screen indicates the current position of the
rudder, as measured by the rudder position sensor.
1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat
CAUTION: Maintain a permanent watch
Automatic course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is
NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a
permanent watch by the helm.
How do I automatically steer to a heading?
1. Steady the boat on the required heading.
2. Press auto.
The SmartPilot is now in AUTO mode and will steer to the chosen heading,
shown on the display. This mode is often known as “point-and-shoot”.
