THRUSTER-BOW (TYPICAL)
General Safety Notices:
1. Be sure to read and understand the safety information
and all thruster operation information before attempting
to use the thruster system.
2. Do not operate the bow thruster system close to swim-
mers as a high powered suction is produced at the propel-
lers.
3. Make sure the propeller lock nut is torqued to the re-
quired foot pound specifi cation.
4. When servicing the unit be sure to turn the thruster
designated battery switch to the service position (to far-
right) and insert a tie wrap in the selector slot for back-up
protection. See the typical set-up below.

Below is a typical wiring layout (sump) for optional thruster
(note that this one also includes the optional hyd. swim
platform).
To use the thruster fi rst make sure
the house battery switch is activated.
Next, energize the accessory switch
on the helm starboard switch panel.
This switch also controls the optional
hydraulic swim platform should it be
installed.
There is a joystick on the helm and it can assist in slow
speed maneuvering especially around a dock or close moor-
ing situations. It operates similar to the engine joysticks.
