Disengaging Skyhook

• Move the joystick and return to the original neutral position.
• Move the ERC levers.
• Turn off one or more engines.
Skyhook does not automatically resume when the steering wheel, levers, or joystick are returned to their original position. The

Using Skyhook
Skyhook system response will change with wind and current conditions. Familiarize yourself with how best to position your
vessel regarding the speed and direction of wind and current. Practice with Skyhook to determine what works best for your
vessel in various situations.
