Dockcontrol
« on: March 19 2019, 16:16 »
Hi. I have a 2015 V42 with the fancy Dockcontrol setup. When it works it's great, but it can be very sensitive to the position of the manual shifter lever. Does anyone know where I can get information on how to adjust the system? Probably need the installation manual as the user manual is next to useless and the local dealer is of no use either.

Thanks, Doug

On my Bav it's a combination of the round thing that turns the rudder and the lever thing that controls the engine !
When they don't work sometimes it big flappy things with string attached !!!!
Sorry for being facetious

Two thrusters, a joystick, and two actuators.

Doesn't look much like you're going to get a sensible answer here Doug.

I suspect you are one of a very few Bav owners with this feature.

You should be able to identify the original manufacturer to ask for advice.

Often a problem with new systems made in only small numbers that there is little experience of how they perform in use or the problems and how to solve them.
