Thruster Joystick Operation - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Thruster Joystick Operation

When activated the joystick is used to provide
thrust to the bow thruster propeller in a port or
starboard cycle.
1.To operate joystick the bow thruster main battery
switch must be turned to the "on" position.
2. To activate the joystick panel press and release
the ON/OFF button. The LED light on the panel
will illuminate indicating the panel is activated. At
this point you are ready to operate the joystick.
3. Ensure there are no swimmers, divers or debris
in the nearby vicinity and the boat is in a balanced
position with passengers in their seats. Ensure that
the boat is not close to other vessels.
4. Postitioning the joystick to port (left) will turn the
thruster propeller in a counterclockwise direction
resulting in the bow of the boat moving to port.
Positioning the joystick to starboard (right) will
turn the thruster propeller in a clockwise direction
resulting in the bow of the boat moving to starboard.
Note: As long as the joystick is held in the port or
starboard position it will continue to maneuver the
boat in that general direction. When the joystick
is released it will assume a neutral (non-thrusting)
position with power still retained at the panel.
5. To deactivate the joystick panel, press and
release the ON/OFF button. At this point the LED
light will turn off indicating the joystick panel is off.
