Where is the clutch control panel located?

The clutch control panel is positioned in the upper console outboard on each side of the 45-Foot Response Boat-Medium (RB-M 45). This location provides easy access for the operator, allowing them to engage or disengage the clutches effectively while maintaining visibility and control of the vessel. The design is strategic, ensuring that the clutches can be operated without obstructing the operator’s view or access to other critical controls.

Positioning the panel in the upper console also helps in minimizing interference with other equipment and provides a clearer line of sight for the crew, enhancing operational safety and efficiency. This ergonomic placement aligns with the overall design philosophy of the RB-M 45, which prioritizes operator comfort and accessibility.
