The FishHunter mode is a unique feature of FURUNO’s NAVpilot series. Find a fish
target with your FURUNO sonar/sounder or bird target with your FURUNO radar and
feed it to the NAVpilot. The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter mode to perform cir-
cle, orbit, spiral, figure eight, square or zigzag maneuvers around the specified target.
his function is not available when [BOAT CHARACTERISTICS] (on the Installation
menu) is set for [SAILBOAT].
Like with the user turn, you can confirm and change the parameters of a FishHunter
turns before you do the turn. If confirmation or change is not necessary, simply push
the Course control knob after selecting the turn with the TURN key.
After you start the turn, the steering mode indication changes as shown in the table
