Skyhook Digital Anchor Control
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. The Skyhook® digital anchor features do not avoid navigational hazards. Failure to safely operate your boat could result in an accident causing property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
When connected to a compatible Mercury® engine, you can use the Skyhook digital anchor overlay on the chartplotter to set and adjust the Skyhook, Drifthook, and Bowhook functions.
