Chapter 2: Using the Tiller Pilot

2.1 Overview

WARNING:

Passage making under autopilot control is an enjoyable

experience that can, if you are not careful, lead to the relaxation

of the permanent watch. Always maintain a permanent watch no

matter how clear the sea may appear to be.

• The tiller pilot always powers up in Standby mode (indicated by a flashing ‘C’

alongside the boat’s current compass heading).

• The tiller pilot is controlled using simple push-button operations, all of which

are confirmed with a short beep. In addition to the main single key functions,

there are several dual key operations.

• To select automatic steering:

• steady the boat on the required heading

• place the pushrod over the tiller pin (if necessary, extend or retract the

pushrod using the

-1, +1, -10, and +10 keys)

• press

auto: the display will then show an ‘A’ alongside the current head-

ing

• To return to manual steering at any time:

• press

standby

• remove the pushrod from the tiller pin

• You can use the

-1, +1, -10, and +10 keys to make course changes when the

boat is under autopilot control.
