A bow thruster includes a pump connected to an inlet opening in a bottom of the boat hull, lines extending from the pump to opposing side outlet openings in the hull below the water line, and a control (normally closed) valve for selectively controlling water flow through each line. A bow thruster control includes on-off switches for operating the inlet pump and simultaneously directing water from pump toward a selected one of the lines to steer a bow of the hull. The bow thruster can be used on V-hulls, flat-bottom hulls for river boats, pontoons, and other watercraft.
