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. This feature is very valuable for trawlers and purse seiners.
