INTERIOR Control Panel Yacht control panels are electronic devices for the remote control of one or more pieces of equipment including windlasses, navigation lights, and thrusters. These devices can control the windlass, thrusters, navigation lights, alarms, video surveillance systems, windshield wipers, engines, fuel, water and oil levels, generators and other equipment.
Interior / Exterior Radio Radio works by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves. The radio signal is an electronic current moving back and forth very quickly. A transmitter radiates this field outward via an antenna; a receiver then picks up the field and translates it to the sounds heard through the radio.
A very high frequency (VHF) transceiver is a device that is composed of a transmitter and receiver that operates between 30 megahertz (MHz) to 300 megahertz (MHz). The wavelength of a VHF transceiver varies between 39.37 inches (1 m) to 393.70 inches (10 m), mainly depending on the frequency used.

GMDSS The Dual Energy Power Supplies and Battery Chargers are designed and developed for charging and maintenance of voltage on lead-acid batteries and provide consistent and uninterrupted power supply (main or backup). You will find it at the chart table area.
General Switches This battery master switch functions as a battery isolator and a theft deterrent device. The battery master switch is commonly used in vehicle applications, such as marine, transportation and automotive. The switch has an impact-resistant housing and has a detachable key for added security.
Thermal Fuses Fuses are mechanisms that are inserted into an electrical circuit in order to interrupt the supply of electricity throughout the electrical installation or in individual circuits of the installation, when large current values occur due to short circuit or overload to protect the wiring lines.
You will find the service batteries on the right side of the chart table and under the living room cushion. Engine You will find the engine battery inside the engine room. Thruster You will find the thruster battery at the skipper cabin under the bed.

If only one thruster is used, for example in the bow, then the boat will also turn and change orientation.
