How to use a bowthruster
Note! Please take some time to practice thruster usage in
open water to become familiar with thruster operation
and to avoid damage to your boat.
Important!
Keep main engine(s) running when operating
thruster(s) to ensure enough electrical power.
1.
Turn the main power switch for the thruster on.
2.
Press the On/Off switch to engage the thruster (LED will
glow on the Joystick control panel). This is not applicable
on QL Touch panel.
3.
Push button or move Joystick / Rocker switch to left, boat
moves to port (left). Push button or move Joystick /
Rocker switch to right, boat moves to starboard (right).
For more detailed information; see the examples of mano-
euvering on the last pages of this manual.
Important!
The system is equipped with an automatic safety
shut off function to avoid overheating.
The maximum continuous running time is 30 sec-
onds.
When the thruster is used for an accumulated time
of 2 minutes or 4 times 30 seconds, the safety sys-
tem require the thruster to cool down for a period of
25 minutes.
Important!
There is a 1.5 second delay when changing direc-
tions. This is for allowing the motor and water col-
umn to slow down.
Important!
Always turn the thruster(s) main power switch(es)
off when the system is not in use and when leaving
the boat.
How to use a bow & stern thruster
The combination of a bow and stern thruster offers side-
to-side manouverability to the boat and the opportunity
to move the bow and the stern separately of each other.
For more detailed information; see the examples of mano-
euvering on the last pages of this manual.
Important!
When using thruster(s) take into consideration the
inertia effects, i.e. the boat will continue to move af-
ter you release the button / Joystick / Rocker switch,
therefore remember to release the button / Joystick /
Rocker switch shortly before reaching your desired
position.
