Low speed option

[Scotty Mac]

So can you get the Low Speed Option on the Volvo D3 for a 2014 R25SC. We are in a tight birth and sure would make docking easier.

Unfortunately low speed is only an option on the D4 and D6 engines. They have not adapted it for the D1 or D3 versions installed in the other tugs.

Thank you,

On my d3 with electronic throttle control I find it so easy to drop in and out of gear that I would find it difficult to see the need for low speed option. In close quarters the thrusters really are helpful and little forward/reverse motion is needed as far as I have experienced.
