3. STEERING MODE

3-7

3.3.4

Selecting the boat’s steering behavior after arriving at your
destination waypoint

The “Fishing mode” can be enabled and set up control your boat’s steering
behavior after it reaches the last waypoint in a route. For example, the ORBIT
setting will steer the vessel in a circular pattern around the final waypoint (fishing
spot). The FIGURE EIGHT setting will continually return to the final waypoint in a
clover leaf pattern.
For details of each movement, see the next section “3.4 TURN Mode”. To enable
the fishing mode and set the steering behavior, complete the following steps:

1. Press the [STBY] key and then, [TURN/MENU] key twice to show the STBY

menu.

2. Rotate the course control knob to select “PARAMETER SETUP”, and then

press it to show the parameter setup menu.

3. Rotate the course control knob to select “FISH MODE” on the second page,

and then press it.

4. Rotate the course control knob to select ORBIT TO STBD (starboard),

ORBIT TO PORT or FIGURE EIGHT.

To disable the fishing mode, select OFF. (The ship continues in the same
direction that was active when the boat arrives at the last waypoint.)

5. Press the course control knob, and then press the [TURN/MENU] key twice

to close the menu.
