HRUSTER
The optional bow thruster aids in maneuvering your boat. The outboard engines can control
the direction of the stern while the bow thruster drives the bow. Use the joystick control located at
the helm to control the thruster. The emergency shut-off switch provides a simple method to
quickly disconnect power from the thruster motor. Depress this button to disengage the thruster in
the event of an emergency. Reference
“Bow Thruster Layout” on page 8–24 for a layout diagram.

UTRIGGERS
The optional outriggers spread the fishing lines being trolled from your boat and decrease the
chance of entanglement.
• Advantages
Advantages of outriggers include offering bait throughout a larger area behind the boat,
placing bait out of the wake zone, automatic drop back following strikes (which allows for
fish to completely accept bait), and a reduction in unnecessary twisting action characteristic of
artificial bait.
• Instructions
For installation and use, reference the sheet included in your Owner’s Packet.
• Care And Maintenance
- Outriggers should be washed with freshwater, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Never use abra-
sive cleaners on outriggers.
- A periodic waxing is suggested if your outriggers are exposed to salt water. The wax will
provide a protective coating and seal the pores of the metal. A non-abrasive high quality
marine or automotive wax is recommended. Before storage, clean and wax the outriggers.
- During assembly, grease all threads, bolts, and tubes where one section is inserted into
another. Disassemble and regrease all applicable surfaces on an annual basis.
