4.2.12 Bow thruster

The bow thruster enhances the maneuverability of the bow when docking or performing other maneuvers that require increased operator control.

The bow thruster is located under the front deck and can be accessed by removing the bottom of the storage box. 

The bow thruster is powered by the Aux battery. The main switch is located in the bow area of the boat.

The control switch is located in the steering console.  

The batteries must be disconnected from the electronic circuit before changing a fuse. For more information, see the manufacturer’s manual. 

Incorrect use may cause overheating and short circuiting, and pose a fire risk.

  • Use the bow thruster for only short periods at a time.

  • Do not exceed four duty cycles (max. 30 seconds long in 25 mins).

If overloading occurs, contact a qualified marine electrician.

  • Do not touch the bow thruster or its fuse if the main switch Aux is switched on.
