2.15 Dodge in NAV
When dodging in NAV mode, the course displayed as Course To
Steer (CTS) is the boat’s recommended heading. However, the
previous set course is stored by the autopilot. When DODGE is
flashing on the display, the autopilot is no longer in control of
the steering and you must either steer the boat manually or take
control using either Non-Follow-up steering or Follow-up
steering. On manual steering, the clutch (or bypass valve) in the
drive unit will be disengaged when dodging. The autopilot will
remain in the DODGE mode until you exit DODGE by a second
press on the TURN/DODGE/INFO button or until you select
another mode.
Perform dodging the same way as in AUTO mode above.
