Questions and answers
With the S33, Can you stop it with your phone and the start it with the phone a few moments later. Will the rudder stay straight and not return the the left? That would make it go in circles if you start it again.
Yes, the Seahorse S33 can be stopped and restarted using the phone App. However, the rudder does not remain straight; it switches to the left side once a GPS lock is acquired and the system is ready.
