Using Steer-Pilot Mode with the MEM Settings

Before you can use steer-pilot mode with the Memory (MEM) settings, you must connect the instrument to a heading sensor through the NMEA 2000® network.

The marine instrument can help you when tacking by using stored port and starboard tack angles.

  1. From an instrument screen, hold Menu.

    The instrument enters steer-pilot mode.

  2. Select an option:
    • If MEM is shown, proceed to step 4.

    • If something other than MEM is shown, hold Menu until the text flashes.

  3. Press Up arrow or Down arrow to select MEM, and press Menu.
  4. Begin tacking port or starboard.
  5. After you make your first trim, push Menu to store the heading value as MEM1.
  6. Continue tacking.
  7. After you make your second trim, push Menu to store the heading value as MEM2.
  8. Continue tacking while observing the needle.

    When the needle moves from the center, it indicates the timing for the next tacking maneuver.

    The MEM1 and MEM2 values change automatically as you are tacking.
