Quick Tip
Using the PORT and STARBOARD keys when in
AUTO mode allows you to power-steer your boat
Even when the autopilot is activated, you are are still able to override 
it. If, for example, you encounter an obstacle, or you just wish to 
change direction by a few degrees.
With the autopilot activated:
1.  A brief press of the PORT or 
STARBOARD key will make a 
1º course change in that 
direction. Use this method for 
course changes up to 20º
2.  A press and hold of the PORT 
or STARBOARD key will 
execute a controlled turn until 
you release the button. 
(SmartSteer)
3.  The autopilot will now resume 
on the new heading.
