Working with thrusters
If the vessel is equipped with thrusters, they can be connected to the autopilot system. The
thrusters can be configured to different work profiles, and work profile in use will then decide
if the vessel can be controlled by rudder, thrusters, or both rudder and thrusters.
Thruster settings
Two settings affect how the thrusters are used by the autopilot:
Thruster inhibit speed - set during dockside setup
- This setting will turn the thrusters off when the vessel is running above a set speed limit
Refer to the separate autopilot Installation manual.
The thruster assist function - set when configuring the thrusters for the work profiles.
- ON: the thrusters will automatically be used by the autopilot system. If the thrusters are
turned off when the vessel increases inhibited speed, the thrusters will automatically be
turned on again when the speed gets below the inhibited limit
- OFF: you must manually turn thrusters ON
For more information see Work profile setup on page 33.
Activating and de-activating thrusters
You can manually toggle thrusters on/off by pressing and holding the CMD key. A popup
with slide bar will be displayed as long as the key is pressed. The slider moves from hiding to
showing (or opposite) the thruster symbols.

info panel are as shown below.
