INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
– PT230 PONTOON THRUSTER
Sideshift thrusters can be installed with the boat in water or on land, although land-
based installation is easier.
To get an overview of the installation process you can view the pontoon thruster

PT230 Thruster Placement
The thruster is designed to be positioned on the underside bow of any dual or tri-
pontoon boat. For tri-pontoon boats position the thruster between two pontoons on
the helm side of the boat which will facilitate wire-runs. For dual pontoons position
the unit centrally between pontoons.
The cables and air vent line pass through the deck and into storage typically found
under a hinged bench above deck.
