If you press and release the GPS (Select Load) button when the autopilot is in heading hold and the GPS
has
an active route, the pilot will steer to the selected waypoint.
If you are more than 1000 ft. off the courseline the pilot will steer directly at the waypoint and not try to
remove crosstrack error.
Return to heading hold by pressing one of the Straight Arrow buttons.
The autopilot will orbit the waypoint you have activated in your GPS, with the waypoint to your starboard
side if you press the Bent Right Arrow button when the GPS (Select Load) LED is lit and the special
function Orbit Wpt has been enabled. The waypoint will be on your port side if you use the Bent Left
Arrow button.
The orbital radius is the distance from the waypoint at the time you press one of the bent arrow buttons.
Return to heading hold by pressing one of the Straight Arrow buttons.
The cloverleaf pattern is intended for use when you wish to repeatedly pass over a point where you think
fish may be holding. You must mark the location of the cloverleaf stem with a waypoint in your GPS.
Once the waypoint is saved, select “go to” this waypoint on your GPS. From heading hold, press and
release the GPS (Select Load) button. The pilot will start maneuvering toward the waypoint. If you have
selected 3 Leaf Clover pattern as the special function for the Bent Arrow buttons, pressing either Bent
Arrow button will start the boat on the cloverleaf pattern. If you used the Bent Right Arrow button the
cloverleaf will be traversed by always turning to starboard, the other Bent Arrow button will cause the
pattern to be traversed while always turning to port. The length of one of the cloverleaf is programmed
with setup code 28. It is adjustable in length from 500 ft. to 6000 ft. in 100 ft. increments.
Return to heading hold by pressing one of the
Straight Arrow buttons. An example of the Clover-
Leaf pattern is shown in the figure to the left.
