Thruster Controller
Thrusters are designed with propellers facing in a sideways direction so when they are
turned on,
they push the bow or stern of a boat sideways through the water
, in
either direction. If only one thruster is used, for example in the bow, then the boat will
also turn and change orientation.
1. Turn main power switch for the bow thruster on. (Always turn off the main power
switch when not onboard.)
2. Please take some time to exercise thruster usage in open
water to avoid damages to your boat.
3. Turn the control panel on by pushing both "ON" buttons on
the original Side-Power panel simultaneously. If another type
of control is installed, engage the On/Off switch for the bow
thruster.
4. Turn the bow in the desired direction by pushing the red
button for port movement or the green button for starboard
movement. If you have a joystick control, move it in the
direction you wish the bow to move. Other controls like
footswitches or toggle-switches on the throttle can be used.
These are normally logically installed, so by engaging the port
control, the bow goes port etc. In case of any doubts, try in open waters first.
5. Depending on the sideways speed of the bow, you must disengage the control
device shortly before the bow is in the desired direction, as the
boat will continue to move after stopping the bow thruster.
