bow thruster or the engines engage first, thus enabling you to move the boat sideways
parallel.
When your thrusters are proportional and the Dockmate Receiver is configured with a CAN
bus thruster module (Vetus CAN, S-Link, ABT TRAC-Link, or CMC-CANopen), you can
proportionally control the thrusters’ power by moving the joystick. The harder you push, the
more thrust.
By default, moving the joystick forwards and right in a 45º angle causes the port engine to go
forward and makes the boat steer to the right.
In single engine configuration, a 45° angle joystick movement can activate a combination of
the single engine and 1 or 2 thrusters.
The other 45º angle positions on the joystick work on the same basis.
Twisting the joystick knob clockwise causes the boat to rotate clockwise.
Twisting the joystick knob counter clockwise will rotate the boat counter clockwise.
Rotation of the boat is achieved with the engines and/or thrusters, depending on the boat,
and Dockmate configuration.
