Maneuvering
The joystick can also be used to maneuver the boat in
the same manner as with a helm steering unit. Move
the joystick sideways to steer the boat in the same
direction. When the joystick is released the autopilot
will set a new heading that corresponds to boat
heading.
NOTICE! Full joystick movement to one side
corresponds to full helm. Maneuvering abeam
provides a faster response than adjusting the heading
by twisting the top of the joystick.
The joystick driving function allows the joystick to be
used during passage to adjust the boat's course and
maneuver the boat in the same way as with the
steering wheel. Throttle and gear shift controls work in
the normal manner.
Learn to maneuver the boat with the joystick in calm,
open waters.
Joystick driving for Type approved
installations.
For Type approved installation the function Joyctick
driving is not possible to use together with Volvo Penta
Autopilot.
Joystick driving is activated and de-activated by
pressing the
button on the joystick.
The steering wheel can also be used when joystick
driving is active, e.g. to change course or avoid an
obstacle. Twist the top of the joystick or move it
sideways to re-activate joystick driving.
Maneuvering
Twist the top of the joystick to change rudder angle
gradually. A short twist changes the rudder one degree
while a twist held firm will change course through
several degrees.
The joystick can also be used to steer the boat in the
same way as a steering wheel. Move the joystick
sideways to steer the boat in the same direction. When
the joystick is released the rudder angle reverts to 0°.
Full joystick movement to one side corresponds to full
helm. Maneuvering abeam provides a faster response
than adjusting the course by twisting the top of the
joystick.
