When the autopilot is connected to an EVC system, you can take
manual control of the steering regardless of the autopilot mode.
The mode indicator is replaced by a dash to indicate EVC override.
The autopilot goes into standby mode if no rudder command is
given from the EVC system within a predefined period.
SteadySteer
The SteadySteer feature allows you to control how the autopilot
system reacts to manual steering.
When enabled:
• Manual steering overrides theactive mode.
• If Auto mode or NoDrift mode was active before going into
manual steering, they will automatically re-engage when the
vessel has stabilized on a new course.
• If NAV mode was active before going into manual steering a
dialog will be shown.
-
Confirm course change to reactivate NAV mode.
-
Cancel the course change to activate Auto mode on the new
heading.
- If no action is taken the autopilot will go into Standby mode.
For any other modes, the autopilot goes into Standby mode.
When disabled:
• Manual steering overrides the active mode.
• Independent of modes, the autopilot goes into Standby mode.
