You can fish for crabs two ways either through the crane arms or deploying the pots with the buoys.

Main Crane Operation :
1. Disconnect buoy from the crane arm winch and attach it to the main crane winch.
2. Raise the crane and pivot to the sides.
3. Lower pot until the buoy reaches the sea surface
4. Lower the pot through the crane controls
5. Detach cable from buoy and crane.

To recover the buoy simply attach it back to the crane and bring it back up onto the boat.
While attached to the crane press SPACE to release contents ( Unless you'd prefer to pick them all up yourself! )

Crane Arms Operation :
1. Lower the crane arm
2. Lower the winches

This method does not have a way to release all the crabs from the pots so you'll have to pick them manually and put them in the tank.



Made for Alistairs crab boat challenge.
