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 waterto 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, en
gage 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 joy
stick 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 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 manoeuvrability 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 its own axis staying at the same place.
• Again, if in doubt, try in open water first!
