Installing the instrument • Place the adhesive drill template on the desired location for the instrument. 7 1 Drill the four screw holes using a 2 .8 mm ( / ”) drill for wood or 3.2 mm ( / ”) 64 8 1 for fibre glass. Use a 52 mm (2 / ”) hole saw to machine the clearance 16 hole for the instrument connection socket. Note! Never drill through the instrument’s four mounting holes as the gasket may be damaged and thus cause leakage. The warranty is not valid for damage caused by drilling through t

Navigation functions To change to combi steer, press MODE . The combi steer window provides you with information of five values at a time. The arrow at the top helps you to keep on track. This function is explained in section 3.3.7. The functions displayed are speed over ground, course over ground, distance to Waypoint and course to Waypoint. If no W aypoint is selected to navigate towards in the NMEA navigator, the bottom row will display dashes. Cross track error (XTE) To display XTE, pres

Select Waypoint In the navigation mode you can at any time set a Waypoint to go to. The NAV Repeater will then compute the distance and bearing to Waypoint and all other functions .The W aypoint is selected by pressing the KEY in any navigation mode. When the KEY is pressed the NMEA W aypoint number is displayed. To enter your Waypoint, press or DOWN , the text Lat/Lon is displayed. Press KEY and the present position is displyed, edit the latitudecoordinate for your Waypoint. To increase/decr
