HELP! What model Garmin system for 2016 R27?

[Toki]

My 2016 R27 is out on charter, and my customer can't seem to figure out how to get his heading line to display on the GPS. As I recall, it's a setting somewhere in the menus system. The Garmin manual is on the boat, so I don't have it. I'm sure I can find it on line though. Can someone please tell me the Garmin MFD/Chartplotter model that came standard on the 2016 R27? Bonus points if you have a link to the manual!

Thanks

My 2016 R 27 has a Garmin 7612. I have a soft copy of the Owners Manual on my computer. If you give me your email, I'll send you a copy.

Never mind. Got the Garmin 7612 manual on-line. Setting up the heading line is easy peasy, informed the charter customer.

This is an issue I keep running into with the boat in charter. There are so many settings on that Garmin system, and each customer fiddles with it. Heck, I should just disable the whole system and leave a sextant on the boat!

How did you resolve the autopilot problem about which you recently posted?

Good question Caspers! The mechanic was stumped, even after I explained location of all modules, connectors, fuse and breaker. So he called a Garmin expert in who fixed the system quickly. I haven't yet heard exactly what the issue was. I'm guessing some sort of system reset was involved, which may also account for the lost heading line.
