Tugboat Controls (How We Maneuver The Boat)

Brief tutorial about the Z Drive units 

[HayesTheCraze]

Can you show the full start up procedure... from walking on to undocking... for the uneducated looking to borrow a tug for a joy ride in the harbor for a few hours

You could model a tugboat interior for a spaceship movie, and i'd be sold. It'd be pretty cool tbh. Just watching tugboats in action could hold my attention all day. God Bless You! Thank you, for taking the time to explain a little bit.

Next video can you show the throttles and explain commands you get involving throttles from the pilot. Your channel is one of my favorites. Thank you for doing this! 🤟🇺🇸

So awesome. Glad I found this channel. Microphones are fairly cheap. It'll really help with the volumes issues. Thanks again for sharing.

I have no idea how i ended up on one of your videos...
But after two minutes i was like "PLEASE let this guy have a video explaining how the steering works!" - and here we are! :D Thank you Sir!
I didnt even know i was into this but i will now go and watch more of your videos. Really interessting!

Super-helpful and interesting! I usually see tugs from the other end of the rope, so it was great to get a quick tutorial and demonstration from your perspective. Props for the video quality, as well. Crispy.

I drive a Sydney Ferry RiverCat which is a 34m Cat and they have Schottels. I believe we’re the only ones in the world where we steer differently to conventional schottels. Hard to explain without a video but great explanation on how you guys do it.

Thaks for sharing. I had learned a quick explanation of these years ago..never seen one from inside. this one looks cozy with electronic. The old ones had these valves you could feel, like floating ball hydraulic or like hevy equipment, etc... a little closer to manual steering I guess. Awesome tugs. Very powerful.

Hi, my name is Shawn Myers. I’m very interested in learning about our tugboats and stuff so I’ve been watching your channel for a while now.

[Jerry_SWMO]

Fantastic. Thank you very much for that. I know its second nature to you but to many of us its another world. Great job explaining that part and I look forward to more. Props to ya my friend.

[marlawhite]

Very cool thanks for showing us this Its not just a one wheel boat. Very good job of explaing the boat drives to us!!!

[jcataclisma]

Cheers! 👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome chanel, can't wait to see more, such a fascinating look at a working tug actually working!

[fhussainmajid]

awesome videos would love to see the power units and the engine room too

[cpl_]

I was just wondering how that worked since you seem to have such a tremendous control with just tiny movements but no ordinary wheel and throttle control. Thanks. Love the videos and explanations.

[magnusmyhre]

Thank you so much!😃 What I am curious to see on those controls is what you do when you crawl sideways?🤔 Maybe its possible to show some day😊 Love your channel👍🏻

[VictorMRO]
