Crabbing:
1. Check Water Depth is less than 40m
2. Raise Pot Platform
3. Drop the pot
4. Wait for the pot to fill up this can be seen based on the color of the lamp on the bouy or the information board in the Bridge.
5. Drive to the pot
- This can also be done using the AP (which you have to enable to use this feature) by flipping the switch in the Bridge labeled "Set AP to main pot". This will automatically maneuver you to the selected main pot tho you still have to control the throttle. When the Boat goes off course which should be at 100m distance to the pot put the boat into full reverse.
6. Hook the bouy up to the main crane using the cable.
7. Wait for the bouy and pot to attach to each other.
8. Drag the bouy together with the pot onto the hoppers and release the crabs.
9. Disconnect the main crane from the bouy and move it all the way back.
10. Hook the side crane up to the bouy and open the side door.
11. Raise the bouy up and through the side door.
12. Lower the crane so that you can disconnect the side crane from the bouy and let the bouy drop into the water to fill up again.[\code]
