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.

Measure the horizontal distance

bow.

From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup

> Installation > Bow Offset.

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

rudder sensor is connected.)

Adjusting the Step Steering Increment

From the Autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >

Step Turn Size.

Select an increment.

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.

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.

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.
