acp joystick
description
The joystick allows direct control of the rudder via the autopilot control electronics. The unit is deck-
mountable, allowing it to be used both above and below decks. A 10m (30ft) 3-core screened cable is
used to connect the unit directly into the h1000 ACP unit.
Joystick steering is engaged and disengaged with the separate red button, which should be mounted in
the same manner as the MOB button, at a location close to the position selected for mounting the
joystick. The lever can only be moved to port or to starboard.
