Bow Thruster —The bow thruster is a small
electric thrusting device mounted in the bow that
helps to increase maneuverability of your
Formula boat.
The bow thruster’s main function is to make
small adjustments of the bow at slow speeds. It
is not made for extended operation. The electric
motor contains a thermal breaker to prevent the
motor from overheating. When this breaker is
activated, the bow thruster will not operate until
the motor has cooled.
For more information on the bow thruster, refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions included in
your Owner Information Binder.
Do not operate the bow thruster while
the boat is out of the water. Doing so
will damage bow thruster components.
Damage of this type is not covered by
warranty.
