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.
