• 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.

How do I adjust the locked wind angle

You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons to

change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard

tack:

• press

-10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked

heading will both change by 10°.

• the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the

new wind angle.

Note:

Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent

wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the wind an-

gle. For major changes, return to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, then reselect

Wind Vane mode.

How do I dodge an obstacle in Wind Vane mode?

In Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can make a

dodge maneuver by using the course change buttons (

-1, +1, -10 or +10) to

select the desired course change.

After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change by

making an equal course change in the opposite direction.
