Your boat may be equipped with a bow
thruster which will allow you to dock with
confidence, control & composure. Even
skilled skippers need an extra hand battling
sudden wind shifts, strong currents or
congested marina docking assignments.
Thrusters inspire docking confidence and
provide a gentle push that you will control,
away from or to the dock or seawall. If you
have not experienced using a bow thruster
it is recommended that you are checked out
by the dealer on how to use this feature.
