When you manually adjust the heading, the heading dial on the Heading screen displays your actual heading while the autopilot steers the boat to the intended heading. The intended heading is indicated by a yellow marker on the heading dial and is displayed numerically in the center of the Heading screen. Intended heading Heading dial Actual heading Manually Adjusting the Heading NoTe: If the autopilot is steering a pattern (page 7), manually adjusting the heading cancels the pattern. Opening the Menu From the Heading screen, the center soft key opens the menu where you can start pattern steering, customize the GHC 10, and configure the autopilot. When you select Menu from the Heading screen, the first option listed depends on the current state of the autopilot: • If you have the helm or if the autopilot is maintaining the heading, the first menu option becomes a shortcut to re-engage the most recently used pattern. • If the autopilot is steering a pattern, the first menu option becomes a shortcut to adjust the settings for the current pattern. GHC 10 Quick Start Manual Using Pattern Steering The autopilot can steer the boat in preset patterns for fishing, and can also perform other specialty maneuvers such as U-turns and man-overboard retrieval. Use the GHC 10 to begin pattern steering. Pattern Pattern name details Heading Heading Screen When Using Pattern Steering Pattern steering is not based on GPS, and can be used without a GPS unit connected to the autopilot. To cancel the pattern, you can physically steer the boat, use the soft keys to manually adjust the heading, or press the STBY button. GHC 10 Quick Start Manual CAuTIoN: You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not begin a pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of obstacles. To begin pattern steering: 1. From the Heading screen, select Menu > Pattern Steering, and choose a pattern. 2. Select Engage to begin the pattern with the default values. OR Select Setup to adjust the values of the pattern. 3. Choose the direction of the pattern if prompted. NoTe: If the pattern has only one setting, the setting name appears instead of Setup. If no settings are available for the pattern, Setup will not be available. Zigzag The Zigzag pattern steers the boat from port to starboard and back, over a specified time and angle, across your current heading. The default values are 1.5 minutes and 30°. Circles The circle pattern steers the boat in a constant circle, in a specified direction and at a specified time interval. The default value create a circle that takes 5 minutes to complete. The autopilot positions the boat so that the circle pattern is centered on the point at which you engage the pattern. U-Turn The U-turn pattern turns the boat around 180° and maintains the new heading. Man Overboard The Man Overboard pattern turns the boat around with the intent of running alongside the point where the Man Overboard pattern was initiated. The boat must be below planing speed when using this pattern. CAuTIoN: The Man Overboard pattern is not determined by GPS and is affected by wind, current, and speed. Be ready to adjust the throttle and take the helm to avoid harm to a person in the water. GHC 10 Quick Start Manual Using GPS Steering The autopilot can steer the boat along a route defined by your GPS device, or in preset patterns based on a GPS location (waypoint). To use GPS steering, you must have an optional GPS device connected to the autopilot. For more information on connecting an optional GPS device, see the GHP 10/10V Installation Instructions. The GPS steering patterns are based on a GPS waypoint to which you are actively navigating using your optional GPS unit. This waypoint is called the active waypoint. For example, when you begin a Search GPS pattern, the autopilot first drives your boat to the active waypoint and then circles the active waypoint in a spiral pattern. To cancel a GPS steering pattern, you can physically steer the boat, use the soft keys to manually adjust the heading, or press the STBY button. To begin a GPS pattern: 1. Begin navigating to a waypoint on your GPS device. 2. From the Heading screen, select Menu > GPS Steering and choose a GPS pattern. 3. Select Engage to begin the GPS pattern with the default settings. OR Select Setup to adjust the settings for the GPS pattern (if available). 4. Choose the direction of the pattern if prompted. NoTe: If the pattern has only one setting, the setting name appears instead of Setup. If no settings are available for the pattern, Setup will not be available. CAuTIoN: You are responsible for the safe operation of your boat. Do not begin a GPS route or a GPS pattern until you are certain that the water is clear of obstacles. GHC 10 Quick Start Manual Orbit The Orbit GPS pattern steers the boat in a continuous circle around the active waypoint. The size of the circle is defined by your distance from the active waypoint when you begin the Orbit GPS pattern. There are...
