FishHunterTM Drive with SUZUKI Outboards FishHunterTM Drive offers unique boat control features achieved through joint development with FURUNO and SUZUKI. In combination with the NAVpilot-300 and one of the compatible SUZUKI outboard engine models, the following functions are available. No Function Overview 1 Speed Control The boat will run at a preset speed by automatically adjusting the engine RPM. (See Section 2.1) 2 Route Speed will be reduced to smoothly turn at a waypoint when navigating on an active route SmoothingTM with NAV mode. (See Section 2.2) 3 Auto Stop The boat will stop and remain fixed around the final destination on arrival. (See on Arrival Section 2.3) 4 Point LockTM The boat will remain fixed around a specific spot. (See Section 2.4) 5 SABIKITM Lock In addition to conventionally available SABIKITM mode, the throttle is also controlled automatically between Reverse and Neutral. (See Section 2.5) System Requirement The following table shows required items for the FishHunterTM Drive. See Section 4 for details of interconnection.

FishHunterTM Drive Features 2.1. Speed Control Boat speed is controlled to run at a preset speed between 5 to 50 knots by automatically adjusting the engine RPM. 2.2. Route SmoothingTM When navigating with NAV mode on an active route with multiple waypoints, there are some cases where the boat deviates too much from a waypoint or route leg unless the arrival circle is properly set to match with the boat characteristics. With the Route SmoothingTM function turned on, boat speed will be automatically reduced to smoothly turn at a waypoint, without overshooting. Note: The speed adjustment works when the turning angle to the next leg is over 60°. 2.3. Auto Stop on Arrival and Stay Fixed When arriving at the final destination with NAV mode, you had two options in the past: Go straight or keep running around the point. With the new function, the boat can automatically stop at the final destination. In addition, the boat can remain fixed around the final destination with Point LockTM mode turned on. (See Section 2.4 for Point LockTM function.) 2.4. Point LockTM You may want to remain fixed around a specific location to keep casting a lure to a structure such as a pier. However, it is difficult to focus on fishing because the boat will drift away unless you consistently steer the helm and adjust the throttle. The Point LockTM function will help the boat to remain fixed around a specific spot by controlling the rudder and clutch. 2.5. SABIKITM Lock The original SABIKITM mode was introduced in 2015 starting with the NAVpilot-711C, as described in Sales Bulletin FSB15-0004. This function has also been made available with the NAVpilot-300. With the conventional SABIKITM mode, while the helm was steered automatically, you needed to shift the throttle down (for Reverse) and up (for Neutral). This effectively reduced the load of captains and helped them concentrate on fishing. New SABIKITM Lock mode offers additional benefits. The throttle will be adjusted automatically between Reverse and Neutral while the boat is reversed, freeing you to focus 100% on jigging and other vertical fishing! Automatically controlling the boat in reverse 3. Display Devices The following displays networked via NMEA2000 can show the steering mode of NAVpilot-300, as well as other functions.

Point LockTM and SABIKITM Lock GP-1871F/1971F and SMD7/9 While Point LockTM and SABIKITM Lock modes are activated with the NAVpilot-300, the GP-1871F/1971F and SMD7/9 show these screen modes on the Instrument page. Notes: Point LockTM and SABIKITM Lock modes can be turned on from the NAVpilot-300 only. The NAVpilot-300 can be set to STBY from the GP-1871F/1971F or SMD7/9. NavNet MFDs and SMD12/16 While Point LockTM and SABIKITM Lock modes are activated with the NAVpilot-300, the TZT2BB, TZT9F/12F/16F/19F, and SMD12/16 show these screen modes on the Data Box and Instrument page. Point LockTM Mode: Point LockTM mode can be turned on from the NAVpilot-300 only. The NAVpilot-300 can be set to STBY from the NavNet MFDs and SMD12/16 by tapping on the Autopilot Window. SABIKITM Lock Mode: SABIKITM Lock mode can be turned on from the NAVpilot-300 only. The set course can be adjusted with the NavNet MFDs and SMD12/16 by tapping on arrow icons in steps of 1° or 10°. The NAVpilot-300 can be set to STBY from the NavNet MFDs and SMD12/16 by tapping on the Autopilot Window. 3.2. Route Output Three (3) waypoints are output via PGN: 129285 for an active route. (Previously, only two (2) waypoints were output.) This output will help the NAVpilot-300 to adjust the turning speed at each waypoint with NAV mode. 4. NAVpilot-300 Software Versions The following table shows the details of NAVpilot-300 software versions to be compatible with the FishHunterTM Drive.

Tips Conventional FishHunterTM Mode The conventional FishHunterTM mode offers unique navigation features for fishing with the NAVpilot-300 and NAVpilot-700 series. As an example, when you find a school of fish with a Fish Finder or a flock of birds with a Radar, drop a point on that target and feed it to the NAVpilot as TLL (Target L/L). The NAVpilot can maneuver in an orbit, spiral, figure-eight, or zigzag shape around the target. While the FishHunterTM "Drive" mode introduced in this document is available in combination with NAVpilot-300 and specific SUZUKI outboards, these steering options with FishHunterTM mode are available with the NAVpilot-300 and NAVpilot-711C, without specific engine types required. Maneuvering options: The following illustrations are extracted from the Operator's Manual of NAVpilot-300 to show how the boat is steered.
