We always recommend that you get your Outboard
Pilot system installed by a professional. However,
once it is properly installed, it is so easy to use that
you can choose to calibrate it yourself.
Calibration is needed in order to align your system
with the compass that is built into your Point 1 AP
antenna. Calibration also compensates for magnet-
ic interferences, and the calibration process adjusts
your rate of turn and rudder gain. All in all, it makes
for a huge difference in performance. All this might
sound a bit confusing, but Lowrance makes it so
simple…
Once the calibration is complete – you’re ready to
head out on the water!
Again, I have to stress that the autopilot
control screen is so easy to use. There is
no lengthy learning process. I’ll explain
further…
Once you have your NAC-1 computer linked to your
display, all you need to do is press the power
button once on your HDS unit in order to quickly
access the autopilot controls.
