Setting the Bow Offset
For forward view Panoptix transducers, you can enter a bow
offset to compensate the forward distance readings for the
transducer installation location. This allows you to view the
forward distance from the bow instead of the transducer
installation location.
This feature applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.
1
Measure the horizontal distance
bow.
2
From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup
> Installation > Bow Offset.
3
Enter the distance measured, and select Done.
On the applicable sonar view, the forward range shifts by the
distance you entered.
Autopilot
You can use the autopilot feature only at a station installed next
to a helm, throttle, and helm control device.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your
vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to
operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of
safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and
never leave the helm unattended.
Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your
boat.
Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open
water.
Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the
water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats.
NOTE: This feature is only available on models with NMEA
2000 network capabilities.
The autopilot system continuously adjusts the steering of your
boat to maintain a constant heading (heading hold). The system
also allows manual steering and several modes of automatic-
steering functions and patterns.
When the compatible chartplotter is connected to a compatible
Garmin autopilot system, you can engage and control the
autopilot from the chartplotter.
For information about compatible Garmin autopilot systems, go

Adjusting the Step Steering Increment
1
From the Autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >
Step Turn Size.
2
Select an increment.
Setting the Power Saver
You can adjust the level of rudder activity.
1
From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >
Power Mode Setup > Power Saver.
2
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.
Engaging the Autopilot
When you engage the autopilot, the autopilot takes control of the
helm and steers the boat to maintain your heading.
From any screen, select Engage.
Your intended heading shows in the center of the Autopilot
screen.
Steering Patterns
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.
1
From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Pattern Steering
> U-Turn.
2
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.
1
From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Pattern Steering
> Circles.
2
If necessary, select Time, and select a time for the autopilot
to steer one complete circle.
3
Select Engage Port or Engage Starboard.
