Power Steering Mode

CAUTION

When using a jog lever in power steering mode, the autopilot system does not establish a heading hold. You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat.

When using a GNA™ 10 adapter to connect a jog lever to an autopilot system installed on a power displacement hull vessel, you can enable an optional power steering mode to use the jog lever to steer the vessel with no autopilot intervention. When using the jog lever in power steering mode, it behaves differently than using it in the standard autopilot heading hold or when using the autopilot to follow a route.

When using a jog lever while in standard autopilot heading hold, pressing or holding the jog lever port or starboard turns the boat until you release the jog lever. The autopilot system then resumes a heading hold for your new heading, making adjustments as needed to maintain the new heading.

When using a jog lever while following a route using the autopilot system, pressing or holding the jog lever port or starboard stops following the route and turns the boat until you release the jog lever. The autopilot system then resumes a heading hold for your new heading, making adjustments as needed to maintain the new heading. It does not resume the initial route.

When using the jog lever while in power steering mode, pressing or holding the jog lever port or starboard turns the boat until you release the jog lever. The autopilot system does not establish a heading hold and the rudder stays in the position where you released the jog lever.
