Drift Lock BlueNav
Master your drift for the perfect catch
At BlueNav, we know that maintaining the perfect angle while fishing is crucial for success, yet often difficult due to wind and currents. That is why we have designed a specific solution for anglers: Drift Lock.
Thanks to our advanced smart navigation technology, it is now possible to let your boat drift naturally while maintaining a strict, constant heading. Focus on the fish, not the helm.
How it works
This system allows you to drift with the wind or current while the boat automatically corrects its orientation to keep the bow pointing exactly where you want it.
- Press the HEADING HOLD button on the control panel.
- Adjust your heading to the desired degree using the joystick, +- signs on the MDF or by using the App.
- The motors automatically adjust thrust to prevent the boat from spinning.
- Drift naturally while maintaining a perfectly steady heading.
- To deactivate, simply click on the Heading Hold button or launch propulsion.
Why choose Drift Lock ?
- Steady Heading: the boat maintains its orientation regardless of wind or waves.
- Tangle-Free Lines: because the boat doesn’t spin, your fishing lines stay straight and don’t get messed up.
- Fisherman Comfort: no need to move around the deck to follow the lines; the boat stays aligned with your fishing setup.
- Silent Approach: uses the BlueSpin electric motors for silent micro-adjustments that won’t scare the fish.
A hybrid solution: the best of both worlds
BlueNav is a hybridization solution that comes on top of your regular combustion engines. We don’t replace your power; we enhance it.
- Speed & Thrust: use your combustion engines when you need high thrust to get to your fishing grounds quickly and efficiently.
- Precision & Silence: once you arrive at the spot, switch to BlueNav electric mode to activate Drift Lock, enjoying silent maneuvers without the noise and fumes of the main engine.
Tailored for fishing boats up to 18 tons
Our technology is designed to fit a wide range of vessels. Whether you operate a light center console or a heavy sportfisher, our motors are perfect for boats up to 18 tons.
- Multiple Motor Models: we offer a range of retractable motors to suit your specific hull and power needs.
- Single or Twin Setup : installation possible en motorisation simple ou en configuration twin. While single motors offer great control, a twin setup provides maximum responsiveness and even more maneuverability.
A concrete use for anglers
Drift Lock is particularly appreciated during trolling sessions or when following a school of fish. In standard drifting, a boat tends to turn sideways or spin, forcing the fisherman to constantly move around the boat or adjust the wheel to prevent lines from crossing.
With Drift Lock, the boat acts as a stable platform. You can drift over a specific spot or along a bank with the boat pointing upstream or towards the fish. This feature brings serenity to your fishing trips; the maneuvers become automated and precise, allowing you to dedicate 100% of your attention to the catch.
