Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation
1.1 Introduction
The SmartPilot controller is a SeaTalk® compatible autopilot control unit. It is
designed as the main controller for the SmartPilot system.
The SmartPilot controller operates in the following modes:
• Standby: SmartPilot off. You have manual control of the boat.
• Auto: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading.
• Track: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two way-
points created on a navigation aid.
• Wind Vane: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a
true or apparent wind angle.
The SmartPilot controller also provides:
• automatic tack (AutoTack) in Auto and Wind Vane modes.
• waypoint advance feature in Track mode.
SmartPilot Functions
The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the
SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor.
