BOWREX Hull-Hold™ Water Tank Test
2026-05-29
This video documents a water tank validation test of the BOWREX Hull-Hold™ control logic for a deployable external bow thruster platform.
The test focuses on maintaining gentle hull contact before momentary docking-assist thrust, showing how the system can remain positioned beside the hull without aggressive continuous pushing.
This footage evaluates:
- Gentle hull-contact retention in Hull-Hold™ mode
- Low-retention thrust before maneuvering input
- Stable external housing position against the hull-contact surface
- Transition readiness for momentary docking-assist thrust
This test represents an early water tank validation of the BOWREX Hull-Hold™ control direction within the patent-pending development phase.
Battery not included. Dock-assist use only (short burst duty).
Not a permanently installed propulsion system.
