As its name implies, the Fishzag turn was developed specifically for fishing.
When this Special Turn is executed, the autopilot maintains the present course for the time
interval specified by the Fishzag Timer in the Standby menu. Once the timer has expired, the
autopilot will make a 60° course change in the direction specified when you pressed the

After 30 seconds, the autopilot will return to the original course, and start the timer over
again. This time, when the timer goes off, the autopilot will make a 60° course change in the
opposite direction. Again, after 30 seconds, the autopilot will return to the original course
where the cycle repeats itself.
The Fishzag turn has the effect of dropping the fishing gear behind one side of the boat, and
raising the gear slightly on the other side while the boat is turning. This has been shown to
be an effective means of luring fish to strike.
