Preface vii

Your Raymarine autopilot will add a new dimension to your boating

enjoyment. However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the

safety of the vessel at all times by following these basic rules:

• Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to

take manual control in an emergency.

• Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the

autopilot.

• Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation –

no matter how clear the sea may appear, a dangerous situation can

develop rapidly.

• Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either

a navigation aid or visual bearings.

• Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current

chart. Ensure that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat

clear of all obstacles. Make proper allowance for tidal set – the

autopilot cannot.

• Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a

navigation aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional

plots. Navigation signals can produce significant errors under

some circumstances and the autopilot will not be able to detect

these errors.
