33 ® ELECTRONIC STEERING - Optimus SeaWays WHAT MAKES SEAWAYS AUTOPILOT SO SIMPLE? EASY HEADING CHANGE WITH A SIMPLE TAP OF THE JOYSTICK. The SeaWays autopilot Heading and Track modes can be activated via the CANtrak display. If you desire Route Mode, a third party chartplotter is required for setting the waypoints. Instead of changing your heading via the CANtrak display, can easily change your heading by tapping the joystick to get 1 degree or 10 degree changes in heading. Tap the joystick port or starboard for 1 degree change or hold it for 2 seconds for 10 degree change. All other displays, Course Control Units (CCU), and GPS/compasses are no longer required. The autopilot CCU resides inside the steering controller (PCM) and has access to all the steering characteristics for optimum performance. All the steering commands are sent internally providing a more integrated system, unlike 3rd party autopilot systems where communication is external. SeaWays commissioning is simple with a three step tuning process for accurate autopilot performance. Installers can import SeaWays autopilot tuning parameters from a golden file via the CANtrak display.
