How to use Sidepower thrusters
How to use a bowthruster
1. Turn main power switch for the bowthruster on. (Always turn off the main power switch when not onboard.)
A Side-Power Automatic Main Switch wil turn on/off when the panel is turned on/off
2. Please take some time to exercise thruster usage in open water to avoid damages to your boat.
3. Turn the control panel on by pushing both “ON” buttons on the original Side-Power panel simultaneously.
4. Move the joystick in the direction you wish the bow to move. Other controls like footswitches or toggle-switches on
the throttle can be used. These connected to the S-link control system by a S-link interface (Refer to schematics in
interface manual for installation
5. Depending on the sideways speed of the bow, you must disengage the control device shortly before the bow is in the
desired direction, as the boat will continue to move after stopping the bowthruster.
How to use a single stern thruster
Some boats might however have installed a single stern thruster because of space limitation in the bow. In this case
the stern thruster is used in the same way as a single bow thruster or moving the boat’s stern.
How to use a bow and stern thruster combined
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers total manoeuvrability to the boat and the opportunity to move the
bow and the stern separately from each other. This enables you to move the boat sideways in both directions and to
turn the boat around its own axis staying at the same place. Refer to the PCJ control panel manual for detailed
instructions.
• Again, if in doubt, try in open water first!
