drives the hydraulic pump, is in operation.
- The thrust of the bow thruster depends on:
- the number of revolutions of the main motor
- the number of pieces of hydraulic equipment switched
on (for instance simultaneous use of both bow thruster
and stern thruster)
3-position lever switch, or selector switch
