Simrad AP48 - Steadysteer

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.

manual steering, they will automatically re-engage when the
