WindTrim

In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of

turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise

performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind

response (WindTrim) level in User Calibration (see page 24) to control how

quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher

wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind

changes.

How do I select Wind Vane mode?

You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode:

1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.

2. Press wv to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current wind angle:

• the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind angle

(e.g.WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145° to port)

• if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving

wind data - check the instrument and connections

3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to

maintain the locked wind angle.

How do I leave Wind Vane mode?

You can leave Wind Vane mode by:

•pressing auto to return to Auto mode

•pressing standby to return to manual control
