Positioning Of Thrust Tunnel - Vetus RimDrive RD125 Instructions D'installation

Positioning of thrust tunnel

Several installation examples.
A stern thruster in a tunnel.
To achieve the optimum performance, posi-
tion the thrust tunnel as far forward as pos-
sible.
In case of a planning vessel the tunnel should,
if possible, be so situated that when the ves-
sel is planing it is above the water level thus
causing no resistance.
If, in addition to controlling the movement
of the bow, the stern of the vessel is required
to move sideways, then a second 'RimDrive'
may be installed at the stern.
If a tunnel for a stern thruster is used then po-
sition this thrust tunnel as close as possible
near the stern of the boat.
