2.6 Automatic Steering
AUTO Mode
AUTO
AUTO mode is used to make the AP50 steer the vessel
automatically on a set heading. AUTO mode is always available
from any mode or function within the AP50 by a single push of
the AUTO button. When AUTO mode is selected, the AP50
automatically selects the current vessel heading as the set
heading and the rudder will move to midship position.
The W Init rudder setting has no effect.
In AUTO, the AP50 issues rudder commands to keep the boat
on the set heading. The boat heading is provided by the steering
compass.
The AP50 will keep the boat on the set heading until a new
mode is selected or a new heading is set with either the course
knob, the (PORT) or (STBD) buttons, or by pushing the
AUTO button again. One revolution of the knob equals a 45°
course change.
Once the course is changed to a new set heading, the boat will
automatically turn to the new heading and continue to steer
straight.
