How to use a combined bow and stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to the boat and the ability to move the bow and the stern separately from
each other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions and turn the boat around its axis 360º staying stationary.
NB: At speed the side thruster will have little or no effect to steer the vessel.
