so take this with a grain of salt, as I only have 2.7 hours on the new boat, but I seemed to not have the best experience with the cruise assist feature.

My understanding is that I can use it increment/decrement target speed by 1 MPH steps while at speed. So it seems to engage, and I get the "cruise +1", etc. on the display, but my speed seems to vary quite a bit more than that. Also, as I was looking down at the screen, "ERR" kept alternating with the speed display.

So 1) has anyone else seen this on their display, and 2) am I doing something wrong with cruise assist?

Thanks!

Derek
 
The cruise assist increases the revs by 200 rpm if I remember right so speed is variable according to wind/water condictions etc.

The err notification maybe something to do with battery voltage, maybe?
