The boat’s wind area, the ‘lateral wind draft area’ and the thruster’s tunnel position in the hull determine the thruster’s performance on a boat. By knowing these factors we can calculate the wind pressure on the boat and the centre point of this wind pressure. From these calculations we can determine what thrust is needed to counter the wind pressure with the given thruster position. To gain total control of your boat, install both a bow and stern thruster, leaving the main engines to propel the boat forward and backward.
