Skyhook (If Equipped)
Your vessel may be equipped with a station keeping feature called Skyhook. Skyhook
automatically maintains the heading and position of the boat within about 3 meters (10
feet) of a set position. The control system for Skyhook uses GPS and compass heading
information to automatically control shift, throttle and steering to keep the boat in
approximately one position.
The Skyhook feature can hold your boat nearly stationary, for example, while you wait for
a space at the fuel dock, or while waiting for a bridge to open. You can also use Skyhook
to maintain your boat's position when the water is too deep for an anchor.
To unlock and be able to use this feature you will have to contact your Authorized Cummins
MerCruiser Diesel Repair Facility.
