BOW AND STERN THRUSTERS
The Que Sara is equipped with bow and stern thrusters. A thruster control station is
located at both helms. There is a separate Joy stick for the bow and the stern thrusters.
Thrusters use a great deal of current and the load is heavy. They should not be used for
continuous operation longer than 30 seconds at a time. They are protected by an internal
overheat disconnect switch to protect the motors. If held on to long they will overheat and
shut down and will not be available until they have cooled sufficiently for the switches to
reset, probably 5 minutes or more. Therefore do not use thrusters for primary controls but
to assist in maneuvering, to trim or adjust and or when moving sideways away from or
towards a dock.
