man overboard key
The Man Overboard key is an optional extra
which activates the
h1000 Pilot’s man overboard
procedure.
For the MOB function to operate, the Pilot
system must have a boat speed input from a
paddlewheel sensor. The procedure will not
operate when the Pilot is set to manual pre-set
speed bands or from speed over ground (SOG).
There are two distinct differences in the MOB
procedure dependent on the configuration of the
Pilot, which is either Power Boat or Sail Boat.
power boats
When the h1000 Pilot is installed on powerboats,
the Pilot can be used for automatic recovery.
The Pilot controls the steering of the boat and
executes a “Williamson Turn” to steer the boat
on a reciprocal heading (course) back to the
point at which the MOB key was initially pressed.
sail boats
When the h1000 Pilot is installed on a sail boat,
for safety reasons and the need for the boat to
tack and gybe back onto the reciprocal course,
automatic recovery is disabled. The user must
follow the dead-reckoned distance and course
displayed on the Pilot screen to manually return
the boat to the point at which the MOB key was
initially pressed.
