Operation Manual Updated
2.2. Home | Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, the operator is in direct control of the Controllers. The system will not actively respond to waves, wakes, and other forces, and the Blades will remain in the position set by the operator via the MFD or Keypad. The operator inputs are indicated by illuminated LED lights on the optional Keypad or in the gauges on the MFD display.

Auto / Manual Button
The button in the middle of the directional arrow pad allows the user to toggle between Auto Mode and Manual Mode.
When the Auto / Manual button is pressed and held down for three (3) seconds, this will remove all operator input and return the Blades to their fully stowed position, allowing the boat to move with no influence from Ride.
Port and Starboard Command Indicators
The Command Indicators show how far each Controller Blade is deployed. If the Port Command Indicator is filled in blue, the port side Controller Blade is deployed fully, which will cause the boat to heel to the starboard side, and vice versa.
Up & Down Directional Arrows
Pressing the up and down arrows in Manual Mode will move the Controller Blades up and down together. Pressing the up arrow will lower the bow and pressing the down arrow will allow the bow to raise. The blue bars in the Command Indicators will move correspondingly.
Pressing and holding the Up and Down directional arrows will continue to deploy the Controller Blades at a controlled speed which is slower than Ride moves in Auto Mode.
Left & Right Directional Arrows
The left directional arrow moves the starboard side Controller Blade down, causing the boat to heel to the port side. The right directional arrow moves the port side Controller Blade down, causing the boat to heel to the starboard side. The blue bars in the Command Indicators will move to match the position of the Blade on that side. If there is a command present on one side and the opposing arrow is pressed, the system will level out by bringing the Controller Blades closer to one another.
Pressing and holding the Left and Right directional arrows will continue to deploy the Controller Blades at a controlled speed which is slower than Ride moves in Auto Mode.
Menu Button
When the Menu button is pressed, the Menu bar will appear or disappear at the bottom of the screen.
