Positioning of thrust tunnel
To achieve the optimum performance, posi-
tion the thrust tunnel as far forward as pos-
sible.
In case of a planning vessel the tunnel should,
if possible, be so situated that when the ves-
sel is planing it is above the water level thus
causing no resistance.
If a tunnel for a stern thruster is used then po-
sition this thrust tunnel as close as possible
near the stern of the boat.
Several installation examples.
A stern thruster in a tunnel.
If, in addition to controlling the movement
of the bow, the stern of the vessel is required
to move sideways, then a second ‘RimDrive’
may be installed at the stern.
