PRINCIPLE OF THE AUTOPILOT Principle of Operation In the AUTO modes, the heading information from a heading sensor is continuously compared with the course that is set on the autopilot’s controller.

If the boat drifts off course, the difference between the primary heading and the set course will change proportionally an
