4.3 Net Towing
When a boat is towing 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 auto-
matically adjusted. This feature is useful for trawlers and purse seiners.
[SHIP’S CHARACTERISTICS] must be set for “other than sailboat” to get this feature.
Note: This feature is not available with Fantum Feedback
