Operating a combined bow and stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to move the bow and the stern separately from each other or in unison. This
enables the boat to move sideways in both directions or turn the boat around a 360º axis while staying stationary.
Remote controls
Drift
Depending on the sideways speed of the bow/ stern, you must disengage the control device shortly before the vessel is in the desired position.
(NB: Be aware the boat will continue to move after disengaging the thruster control.)
At any signifi cant cruising speed (+1-2 kn) the side thruster will have little effect to steer the vessel.
Ensure the remote control is held in the same direction as the boat during operation.
