Questions answered in these manuals
Can I use the SIMULATION mode on the boat?
No. It is a special-purpose mode for technicians, and the rudder may move suddenly.
What should I do if the rudder reaches the rudder limit when using Fantum Feedback?
The drive unit is temporarily disabled and the deviation alarm sounds; switch to the STBY mode and turn the helm to move the rudder.
What should I do if the displayed heading doesn't match the actual heading?
The vessel may be steered in an unexpected direction, which could result in an accident such as collision.
Can I use the autopilot in rough seas?
Do not make turns in rough seas. As the boat makes a 360° turn near its destination, strong winds and high waves can cause the boat to capsize.
