Please refer to the user manual for information about the use and
maintenance of the bow thruster.
„
8.5 Bow thruster
The bow thruster functions with 24 V off an independent battery bank
(4 x 50 Ah / 12 V).
The bow thruster and its batteries, cut-out and fuse are located in the
bow on the starboard side.
A 12 V / 24 V charger is located in the foredeck technical room. It
recharges the thruster battery bank with 24 V using the 12 V on board
service battery bank.
The charger works automatically once the on board circuit is switched
on.
Monitor the thruster battery bank voltage using the multifunction
touch screen.
The bow thruster is controlled from the helm station.
Having switched on the on board and thruster cut-outs and started
the engines:
- Press for three seconds on the yellow thruster control switch.
The yellow LED - which flashes when the thruster is switched on -
remains lit. The control can then be operated.
- Manoeuvre by using the required button on the control.
- Disconnect the control by pressing on the yellow switch a second
time. The LED will start flashing again.
Note: after 3 minutes without operation, the thruster goes OFF.
In case of malfunctioning, check the fuse located in the bow on the
starboard side.
DANGER
Never extract the fuse while the bow thruster is
operating.
