If the vessel drifts too far from its target position or heading, the display
will alarm:
1. The Joystick must be in command of the vessel
2. Press the POSITION and/or HEADING buttons on the joystick
3. Press “Engage” on the display
• Grab the joystick at any time for immediate control (this will
disengage SeaStation).
• Align your vessel stern to wind / current to reduce engine activity.
• POSITION MODE on its own requires less engine activity than when
combined with HEADING MODE.
• SeaStation acquires your target position or heading when “Engage”
is pressed on the display.
• POSITION and HEADING modes can be toggled on and off at any
time while SeaStation is active. Targets will be re-acquired.
• SeaStation will continue to work towards its targets.
• It may benefit to better align your vessel with the wind or current;
however, some conditions may be too strong
When HEADING MODE is active, the target heading can be adjusted
without disengaging SeaStation.
