When towing the net
When a boat is in tow of the fishing gear, its stern is “dragged” by the net. This causes the
boat to stray from its intended course. To keep the boat on course, you need to adjust the
trim manually, which can be bothersome. If you do not want to be bothered with trim
adjustments, you can enable the automatic towing function to have the trim automatically
adjusted. It is indispensable for trawlers and purse seiners.
