WHY IS THE QUICK GYRO STANDBY MODE IMPORTANT?

It’s a deal breaker – it’s an important safety feature…

For our application being a Marlin fishing boat, generally it’s on when it’s rough, and it’s important because the key to the gyro is it stops the boat from rocking…which is great when you’re going forward but it works against you when you’re reversing backwards, when we’re chasing marlin…..

So when we hook up and we’re fighting a fish, it’s important to me to be able to turn it off and put it on standby mode so the boat rocks naturally, so we keep the water out of the cockpit, continue fighting the fish as long as you like, and the boat will handle its way as though it didn’t have a gyro on it.

For the full details, please watch the video.
