bow towards the opposite direction of the jet. You should
familiarize yourself with the maneuvering and operation
of the bow thruster in open and still water before attempt-

thruster is powered by your on board DC system and it is
vital for this to be at full charge and capacity to assure full
functionality. Please refer to the supplied vendor specific
manual for safety tips and service requirements.
