The bow thruster is electrically driven and gives the
operator more maneuverability of the bow and stern
when docking or maneuvering the vessel in narrow
channels or where space is at a premium.

•
Activate the bow thruster by turning the
“THRUSTER MAIN 24V” switch ON. The
switch is located on the control station switch
panel (Figure 2.12.1).
•
By manipulating the joy stick also located on
the control station (Figure 2.12.1) the operator
is able to move the bow ore stern slowly to port
and starboard.
The bow/stern thruster motors are equipped with
an internal thermally activated breaker. The thermal
breaker protects the motors from overheating. When
the thermal breaker is activated, an alarm in the
joystick will sound, thruster operation should be
suspended and the motor allowed to cool down for
normal operation.
Caution: If thruster motors are not allowed to cool
down and use is continued after alarm sounds, the
bow thruster motor(s) may be damaged.
REFER TO BOW THRUSTER OPERATOR’S
MANUAL IN YOUR OWNER’S PACKET FOR
DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
