11.2 Bow thruster
Depending on your boat’s optional accessories, it may be equipped with a bow thruster.
The bow thruster assists you in manoeuvring the boat at slow speeds. It enables you to move the bow sideways without using the main engine.
The thruster is operated from a control panel or joystick. For the location of controls, see Helm station controls.
Equipment damage hazard.
Using the bow thruster continuously for long periods of time can blow the thruster fuses and/or damage its motor.
Use the thruster in short bursts to turn the bow in the desired direction.
For more information on the bow thruster, see a separate equipment manufacturer’s manual.
