The bow thruster enhances the maneuverability of the bow when docking or performing other maneuvers that require increased operator control.
The bow thruster is powered by the Aux battery.
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.
