2.13 Thruster Steering (optional)
If the boat is equipped with an appropriate thruster (page 13), it
can be connected to the AP25 system and the boat can then be
controlled by rudder and thruster.
When the AP25 is controlling the thruster you may:
• Have excellent course and track keeping performance at
very low speeds (AUTO or NAV modes).
• Have automatic heading control when stationary, e.g.
keep the bow into the wind and/or the waves.
• Provided the warf has no steel construction you can use
AUTO mode to keep the bow steady when docking.
A thruster icon below the mode index confirms that a thruster is
connected to the system (via TI25 Thruster Interface).
From the User Set-up Menu (page 52) you can switch the
thruster on and off. When the thruster is switched on, both
rudder and thruster is used to maintain the heading. If the boat
speed exceeds 6 knots the thruster is automatically disabled.
