• Watch for approaching vessels and disengage Skyhook if any vessel is on an intercept course
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. When you place the bow into the wind, the Skyhook system
response is smoother. Experiment to determine what works best for your vessel in various situations.
Occasionally, the GPS signal may weaken or become temporarily unavailable. When this happens Skyhook will sound an
alarm and automatically disengage. The drives will return to neutral and the vessel will drift with the wind and current. You must
be ready to take control of the helm at all times.
IMPORTANT: Activities in the water near the vessel while Skyhook is engaged may result in injury or death. The operator and
passengers should read and observe the safety warning labels on the vessel before Skyhook is engaged.
The following safety warning labels are located on the vessel for reference. Contact the engine manufacturer for replacement
safety warning labels if they are missing, damaged, or cannot be read.
