Your thruster is a high quality technical product and should be treated as such. The employment
of a qualified marine technician, with experience in bow thruster installation, is strongly advised.
Where possible, the boat manufacturer’s architects, design departments and/or shipyards should
be consulted, prior to the installation of the unit. For any boat requiring official classification,
bodies of approval should also be consulted at the earliest opportunity. In any case, all other
bodies, governmental or otherwise, should be contacted to ensure conformity with legal
regulations relating to the boat in question.
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CAREFULLY READ THE
FOLLOWING GUIDE.
