How do I use the autopilot?
Your S1000 can steer your boat according to one of its preset modes.
The modes that are available depend on your boat type. Each of these
are explained on the following pages.
As your S1000 uses a Course-over-Ground (COG) reading from your
GPS to determine the correct heading, you will need to ensure that
you have travelled at over 3 knots, for more than 30 seconds before
you activate the autopilot.
Available modes
POWER FISHING
AUTOAUTO
TRACKTRACK
ZIGZAG
CIRCLE
CLOVER
Quick Tip
You can change your boat type in the autopilot
setup pages - See page 20
