Setting the Power Saver

You can adjust the level of rudder activity.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Autopilot Setup >

Power Mode Setup

> Power Saver

Select a percentage.

Selecting a higher percentage reduces rudder activity and

heading performance. The higher the percentage, the more

the course deviates before the autopilot corrects it.

TIP: In choppy conditions at low speeds, increasing the

Power Saver

percentage reduces rudder activity.

Steering Patterns

WARNING

You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not

begin a pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of

obstacles.

The autopilot can steer the boat in preset patterns for fishing,

and it can also perform other specialty maneuvers such as U-

turns and Williamson turns.

Following the U-Turn Pattern

You can use the u-turn pattern to turn the boat around 180

degrees and maintain the new heading.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering >

U-Turn.

Select

Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Setting Up and Following the Circles Pattern

You can use the circles pattern to steer the boat in a continuous

circle, in a specified direction, and at a specified time interval.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering >

Circles.

If necessary, select

Time, and select a time for the autopilot

to steer one complete circle.

Select Engage Port or

Engage Starboard.

Setting Up and Following the Zigzag Pattern

You can use the zigzag pattern to steer the boat from port to

starboard and back, over a specified time and angle, across

your present heading.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering >

Zigzag.

If necessary, select

Amplitude, and select a degree.

If necessary, select

Period, and select a length of time.

Select

Engage Zigzag.

Following the Williamson Turn Pattern

You can use the Williamson turn pattern to steer the boat

around with the intent of running alongside the location where

the Williamson turn pattern was initiated. The Williamson turn

pattern can be used in man overboard situations.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu

> Pattern Steering >

Williamson Turn

Select

Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Following an Orbit Pattern

You can use the orbit pattern to steer the boat in a continuous

circle around the active waypoint. The size of the circle is

defined by your distance from the active waypoint when you

begin the orbit pattern.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu >

Pattern Steering >

Orbit

Select

Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Setting Up and Following the Cloverleaf Pattern

You can use the cloverleaf pattern to steer the boat to

repeatedly pass over an active waypoint. When you begin the

cloverleaf pattern, the autopilot drives the boat toward the active

waypoint and begins the cloverleaf pattern.

You can adjust the distance between the waypoint and the

location where the autopilot turns the boat for another pass over

the waypoint. The default setting turns the boat at a range of

1000 ft. (300 m) from the active waypoint.

From the autopilot screen, select Menu

> Pattern Steering >

Cloverleaf

If necessary, select Length, and select a distance.

Select

Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Setting Up and Following a Search Pattern

You can use the search pattern to steer the boat in increasingly

larger circles outward from the active waypoint, forming a spiral

pattern. When you begin the search pattern, the autopilot drives

the boat to the active waypoint and begins the pattern.

You can adjust the distance between each circle in the spiral.

The default distance between circles is 50 ft. (20 m).

From the autopilot screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering >

Search.

If necessary, select

Search Spacing, and select a distance.

Select

Engage Port or Engage Starboard.

Cancelling a Steering Pattern

• Physically steer the boat.

NOTE: Shadow Drive must be enabled to cancel a steering

pattern by physically steering the boat.

• Select or to cancel a pattern using step steering mode.

• Select
