Your boat is equipped with a 4kW bow thruster with
a dedicated battery bank and charging system. The
electrically driven bow thruster gives the operator
more maneuverability of the bow when docking or
maneuvering the vessel in narrow channels or where
space is at a premium.
Boston Whaler uses a patent pending design for
installation of the bow thruster.
The bow thruster motor, batteries and battery charger
can be accessed by lifting the forward hatch under
the cabin bunk.
The battery switch is accessed through the aft hatch
under the cabin bunk.
Bow Thruster
Be sure you thoroughly understand the
operation and safety requirements of the
thruster before using.
The thruster should not be operated in close
proximity to swimmers, as a powerful suction
is created when in use.
