2.6 FishHunter
TM
Mode
The FishHunter mode is a unique feature of FURUNO’s NAVpilot series. Find a fish
target with your FURUNO sonar/sounder or bird target with your FURUNO radar and
feed it to the NAVpilot. The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter
TM
mode to perform
circle, orbit, spiral, figure eight, square or zigzag maneuvers around the specified tar-
get.
Like with the user turn, you can confirm and change the parameters of a FishHunter
turn before you make the turn. If confirmation or change is not necessary, simply push
the Course control knob after selecting the turn with the TURN key.
After you start the turn, the steering mode indication changes as shown in the table
below, and the buzzer sounds.
Note: This function is not available when [SHIP’S CHARACTERISTICS] (on the In-
stallation menu) is set for [SAILBOAT], or the RRU is not installed (Fantum
Feedback
TM
).
