MOB functions

dhs.short,

Q1. I am guessing this would not happen but the answer to Q1 sounds like it would be possible, if I was motoring with Smart Pilot was in track mode, and I fell overboard, the MFD would then turn the boat and run me down.
A1. The autopilot will revert to Auto mode, not Track mode upon a MOB event.

Q2. The WamBlee does have switching contacts, so that should be able to be done.
A2. It is recommended that WamBlee documention or its manufacturer be contacted regarding how the WamBlee cause a closed circuit between the course computer's Sleep terminals referenced within my initial response. It is possible that the Wamblee may need to trigger a relay to create the closed circuit.

Q3. Is the reference to an alarm in the documentation simply a beep at the MFD?
A3. A MOB will cause the following visible/audible notifications:
- the system's MFDs will produce an audible alarm sound
- the system's MFDs will display a MOB alert dialog
- the databars of the system's MFDs will be populated with range and bearing data to the MOB's location
- any i70 or ST70 MFIDs in the system will produce an audible alarm sound
- any i70 or ST70 MFIDs in the system will display a MOB alert providing range and bearing data to the MOB's location
