With SYM7 Pair Link, it is easy to select if your own vessel shall be operated as a partner or master vessel

When Pair Trawling the vessel that is identified as master is controlling the fishing situation.

The vessel that is set up to be the partner, has the possibility to activate the following automatic controls to follow the master vessel.

Datalink between the vessels for remote control and sharing data such as length, wire tension, operational modes and setpoints.

The partner vessel can be automatically controlled to keep distance, heading, sailing course. If the master vessel change direction during towing the partner vessel will automatically follow.

Trawl winches on the partner vessel can be controlled from the master vessel. This makes it easy to tow pelagic pair trawl or to adjust the gear if towing multiple nets

SYM7 on the partner vessel can be set to control engine pitch or RPM in order to keep correct trawl pull and vessel position relative to the master vessel.
