3.2 Use
Note
Familiarise yourself with the operation of the panel.
Do this in a safe location!
In principle, use the bow and stern thruster control panel only at low speed or when manoeuvring the boat. Move the joystick in the direction in which the boat is required to move. The thrust starts at about 25% and increases proportionally to the maximum value as the joystick is moved further to its outermost position. Gently move the joystick in the desired sailing direction. If necessary, correct the direction, from the mid position, by moving the joystick slightly up or down.

Use the rotary knob to turn the boat around its axis.

3.3 Hold function
Use the HOLD function to temporarily moor your boat. Do this carefully and make sure that your boat is not damaged, for example by using fenders.

• Manoeuvre the boat against the object to be moored.
• Run the bow and stern thrusters with sufficient force to press the boat against the mooring.
• Do not move the joystick. Now press the HOLD button.
• Release the joystick.

Deactivate the HOLD function by:
– Pressing the ‘HOLD’ button, or
– Pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button, or
– Moving the joystick in the opposite direction.

3.4 Switching OFF a panel
Keep pressing the “ON / OFF” button until all LEDs are off and you hear the signal, di-di-di-dah-dah (… – -). The control panel is switched off.

• Turn off the battery main switch when leaving the boat.
