Power steer mode In this mode you use the port and starboard arrow buttons in the Autopilot Controller to turn the outboard motor(s). The motor turns as long as the button is pressed and remains at the set angle. Auto mode In AUTO mode, the autopilot steers the boat automatically on a set heading. When the mode is activated, the autopilot selects the current compass heading as the set heading. Ú Note: Strong wind and current might affect the steering of the vessel in AUTO mode.
