Using Steer-Pilot Mode with the AWA or TWA Setting

Before you can use steer-pilot mode with the Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) setting, you must connect the instrument to a wind sensor, either wirelessly or through the NMEA 2000® network.

Before you can use steer-pilot mode with the True Wind Angle (TWA) setting, you must connect the instrument to a wind sensor, either wirelessly or through the NMEA 2000 network, and you must connect it to a speed sensor or GPS device through the NMEA 2000 network.

You can enter a specific wind-angle value and use the instrument as a steering guide when sailing.

  1. From an instrument screen, hold Menu.

    The instrument enters steer-pilot mode.

  2. Select an option:
    • If AWA or TWA is shown, proceed to step 4.

    • If something other than AWA or TWA is shown, hold Menu until the text flashes.

  3. Press Up arrow or Down arrow to select AWA or TWA, and press Menu.
  4. Press Up arrow or Down arrow to enter a numeric value for the wind angle to use when steering.
  5. Press Menu to confirm the wind angle.
  6. Steer the boat while keeping the needle pointing straight ahead.
