When entering the marina in normal sailing mode under engine – using the joystick for engine
control (no more bending and grabbing of the throttle.
Activation of the system by pressing the power button at the joystick – Plotter changes screen
into docking monitor indicating
1. Gear ( F orward, N eutral, Reverse – optimum shift speed certified by Volvo preventing
gearbox damages)
2. Throttle (in % - set to Volvo max. rev)
3. Battery Capacity (in Volt both thruster batteries – low voltage alarm)
4. Thruster Status (retracted, moving, deployed – V46 features 2x 6kW)
5. Wheel Brake Status (allowing one more free hand or the wheel use for further mobility)
– all while keeping the chart on screen too. UNIQUE in the market!
The helmsman now has the intuitive ability to move the boat by thruster support and using the
main engine as a reliable forward and astern power source. Quick, efficient & RELIABLE.
The helmsman has the choice to clearly decide to:
1. use forward, neutral and astern from the main engine – just press the top button of the
joystick if/which gears are needed
2. block the steering wheels – depending on mentality of the helmsman it is very convenient
to decide if you either want to have the steering wheels blocked or free for extra steering
support.
3. course tracker to support maneuvering in the marine under heavy side winds for extra
course keeping control.
If the boat speed exceeds 4 knots, the system will send a alarm signal to prevent damage to
the thruster lids.
At 5 knots boat speed, the system automatically deactivates and retracts the thruster unit.
In normal cruising mode – system deactivated and thrusters retracted – the joystick takes over
the engine control.
BAVARIA DOCK CONTROL – the ultimate & unique docking system!
