I rarely let Otto drive the boat from the GPS, but I will frequently set
the wind angle hold while we get drinks etc. This setting will keep the
boat sailing to the set of the sails rather than trying to set a
waypoint. We literally have sailed in a circle on Lake Michigan during
variable winds while we weren't really trying to go anywhere.

Got it all wired in today and I need some help.
I have an older model Autohelm St4000 and a new Echo50s Garmin.\I have
the blue wire from the control head going to the blue wire on the
Garmin I have the red wire to the inst switch and a common ground to
the batt.
I have the baud rate set to 4800.
Here goes the dumbest question I have asked.
How do I get it to steer the boat? The st400 when in gauged will
respond to the control head. How do I get it to steer a course?
Thanks so much for your help. one other question. IO have a transducer
at the top of my mast with App and True Wind / Wind Speed, I have a
gauge that I want to use in one location but I want the information to
go into the Garmin as well.It will take the information according to
the instruction I just don't know how to get all of the inputs in the
one last remaining brown wire on the garmin?
Thanks again for your help
