Several functions are available as an option: Trolling Mode, Remote Engine Start, Starter Lock out, Synchronizer, Speed Control, Joystick, Virtual Anchor Mode and Hover Mode. AIS MOB Mode The Vessel automatically returns to a crew member’s personal AIS MOB beacon and stops in front of the MOB. The person can then swim to the boat and climb on board. Joystick Forget complicated shift, throttle and steering wheel combinations in close-quarter maneuvering. Simply move or twist the Joystick into the direction you want your boat to move. Much easier than the traditional way. Hover Mode and Anchor Mode By pressing a button, the present Satellite-Position is held automatically. A desired relative wind angle or a heading may be selected while hovering. A perfect feature for waiting at the fuel dock or for a bridge or lock to open.
