Helm Control Systems
4.9 Bow Thruster (Optional)
The optional bow thruster provides the opera-
tor additional control of the bow while docking or
anchoring the boat in tight quarters or high winds
and strong currents. The joystick is located in the
helm and controls the bow thruster that is mounted
to the hull in the bilge near the bow. Access to
the bow thruster is provided by an access cover in
the forward end of the interior berth in the cabin.
The joystick is activated by the pressing and hold-
ing the power button for 1 second. Then move
the joystick in the direction you wish to thrust. A
one second delay protects the thruster when the
direction is changed. The bow thruster will stop
when the joystick is released.
Press and hold the power button for 1 second to
deactivate the bow thruster control. The bow
thruster will power down automatically if it is oper-
ated constantly for 3 minutes or senses no opera-
tion for 15 minutes.
Notice:
The bow thruster battery switch on the MDP
must be turned on to power the bow thruster.
The bow thruster circuit is protected by a circuit
breaker and emergency shutoff battery switch
located in the bow bilge compartment below the
berth in the cabin. It is activated automatically
when the thruster control is switched on and turns
off when the control is deactivated.
To avoid over hearing the bow thruster system and
draining the battery power, use the bow thruster in
short 1 to 5 second bursts. Avoid prolonged running
of the bow thruster motor.
Refer to the bow thruster owner’s manual for de-
tails on operating the bow thruster and using the
joystick control.
4.10 Control Systems Maintenance
Control Maintenance
Periodic inspection of the control systems and all
connections should be made. Signs of rust, cor-
rosion, wear or other deterioration should imme-
diately be serviced. Generally, periodic lubrication
of all moving parts and connections with a light
waterproof grease is in order.
Lubrication should be performed as often as neces-
sary to keep the system operating smoothly.
