Powerboat Autopilot Operation
GHC 10 Owner’s Manual 5
‹
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 shing, and it can
also perform other specialty maneuvers such as U-turns and man-overboard
retrieval. You can use the GHC
10 to begin pattern steering.
Pattern steering is not based on GPS, and it can be used without a GPS
device connected to the autopilot.
The zigzag pattern steers the boat from port to starboard and back, over a
specied time and angle, across your current heading.
You can modify the amplitude and period of the zigzag pattern. The default
values are 30° and 1.5 minutes.
