360 Docking version
General points
- This type of transmission operates without a reverse gear, reversing is
achieved by rotating the POD 180 degrees.
- The 360 Docking system is supplied by the service circuit and its motor: the
battery bank must be sufficiently charged to enable the system to run well. An
insufficiently charged battery bank (at the start of a new season, for example)
risks damaging the onboard electrical system.
- The forward and reverse travel of the boat are controlled by the engine control
lever. In passing from forward into reverse POD rotates 180°.
- The POD's orientation in all directions is carried out by the joystick.
- The joystick controls the propeller and the bow-thruster. By moving the joystick
on the X and Y axes, the boat moves on these axes.
- Rotating the joystick makes the boat rotate around its centre.
The effects of the 360 Docking system's rotation will be noticeable to a greater
or lesser extent depending on the boat's way.
