How to use a bowthruster
1. Turn main power switch for the bowthruster 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 controlpanel on by pushing both "ON" buttons on the original Sidepower panel simultaneously. If another type of control is
installed, engage the On/Off switch for the bowthruster.
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 disen-gage the control device shortly before the bow is in the desired direc-
tion, as the boat will continue to move after stopping the bowthruster.
How to use a single stern thruster
Some boats might however have installed a single stern thruster because of space limitation in the bow. In this case the stern
thruster is used in the same way as a single bow thruster (see above) for moving the boat's stern.
How to use a bow and stern thruster combined
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manouverability to the boat and the opportunity to move the bow and the
stern separately from each other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions and to turn the boat around it's
own axis staying at the same place.

Again, if in doubt, try in open water first!
