It is used to place a Nautopilot on a Boat. An activated Nautopilot finds an activated Nautopilot Beacon within six squares of turf and pulls the Boat towards it with a force of ×0.6. This mechanic allows you to carefully park the Boat to a coast without causing damage to it. It can also be used to control multiple chained boats. To activate the Nautopilot, you need to click on it with the left mouse button, after which it will search for an unpaired Nautopilot Beacon and pair with it. If no Nautopilot Beacon was found, the Nautopilot will turn inactive.
