To Operate The Bow Thruster:
• Turn ON battery switch.
• Press the activation
button for 1 second.
• Lift the joystick and
move it in the direction
you wish to move the
bow.
When the desired boat movement has been achieved
return the joystick to the center position (spring
return).
The bow thruster motor is equipped with an internal
thermally activated breaker. The thermal breaker
protects the motor from overheating. To avoid
damage to the thruster, if the thermal breaker trips
allow the unit to cool down before continuing
operation.
DO NOT move the joystick port to starboard
in quick succession as this could damage the
motor.
!
CAUTION
NOTICE
If thruster is operated constantly for 3 minutes
it will power down and panel will deactivate.
The system is designed to automatically power
down after 20 minutes of no operation.
If thermal cut-out is activated all power to the
controls is disabled. WAIT FOR UNIT TO COOL
DOWN.

DANGER
DO NOT OPERATE THRUSTER
OUT OF WATER
It is very dangerous to run the thruster out of
the water, even for a few seconds. The motor
will overspeed by 300%, causing damage to
the unit and the propeller will cause serious
damage or injury to whom or whatever comes
in contact with it.
In addition, this action will void the warranty.
