Measurement

CableCount

CableCount payout meters measure cable out on marine vessels. They are built for commercial fishing vessels, and they are portable for scientific work. Accurate payout is what makes a precise tow practical.

How it fits the boat

Tell us about the winch and the cable you run. CableCount is the first step on a clear adoption path: measure payout, then use that measurement with AutoTrawl to set net height.

Performance depends on the vessel and fishery; ask us and we’ll talk through what fits.
