Turn pattern steering
The autopilot includes a number of automatic turn steering features
for power boats when the pilot is in AUTO mode.
Ú
Note: The turn steering option is not be available if the
boat type is set to SAIL in the Autopilot Commissioning
dialog, instead the tack/gybe feature is implemented.
Initiating a turn
You start the turn by selecting the relevant turn icon, followed by
selecting the port or starboard options in the turn dialog to select
the turn direction.
Turn variables
The turn steering options, except the C-turn, have settings that you
can adjust before you start a turn and at any time when the boat is
in a turn.
Stopping the turn
You can stop the turn from within the turn dialog.
At any time during a turn you can select STBY in the autopilot pop-
up to return to STBY mode and manual steering.
U-turn
U-Turn changes the current set heading to be 180° in the opposite
direction.
The turn rate is identical to Rate limit settings. This cannot be
changed during the turn.
Ú
Note: Refer to the separate GO7 Installation manual for
information about Rate limit settings.
C-turn
Steers the vessel in a circle.
You can adjust the Rate of turn from the turn dialog before the turn
is initiated and during the turn. Increasing the turn rate makes the
vessel turn a smaller circle.
