I haven't used “advanced auto pilot” but I have used cruise control, only way I know to speed up is to keep hitting the + arrow which seems to move pretty soon or else hit the “rabbit” button then you will have to adjust your speed down from there. If your on number 2 on your trolling motor speed you can hit rabbit it will automatically go to 10 the pin if you hit rabbit again it will go back to the last number it was set on . Hope it helps some.
