Bow Thruster Movement

11. Steering

Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses.
Operation
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the tiller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the tiller arm
to either port and starboard, depending upon the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Hydraulic Steering
Do NOT test the bow thruster while the boat is out of the
water, unless you are certain that everyone is a safe
distance from the thrust tube.
Never allow the bow thruster to run for longer than 5
seconds with the boat is out of the water.
If 2 control panels are installed at separate helms, never
operate the bow thruster from both panels simultaneously.
