Bow and stern thrusters liberate the skipper from his heavy handiwork. The control panels of the Craftsman Marine bow and stern thrusters also contribute to optimum ease of operation. It is just a push on the button, or to the joystick that triggers a range of complex movements in the most simple way.
In the case of only a bow thruster, a single panel is used. Dual panels serve the purpose of both a bow and a stern thruster. In that case, each thruster has its own joystick.
The top sides of the panels are made watertight in accordance with the protection classification IP 66.
Craftsman Marine thruster control panels are milled from an aluminium sheet and thereafter anodized to ensure perfect protection against all (marine) weather conditions.
