How to use Side-Power thrusters

How to use a bow thruster

1. Turn main power switch for the bow thruster on. (Always turn off the main power switch when not onboard.) 
  A Side-Power Automatic Main Switch wil turn on/off when the panel is turned on/off

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.

4. Move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow to move. Other controls like foot switches or toggle-switches on  

  the throttle can be used. These connected to the S-link control system by a S-link interface (Refer to schematics in  

  interface manual for installation

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. 

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 or 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. Refer to the PJC control panel manual for detailed  

 instructions. 

 

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