What are bow thrusters used for?
A bow thruster (also known as a stern thruster) is a transversal propulsion device. The bow thruster can be built into or mounted on the bow or stern of a boat or ship. This makes the boat more maneuverable allowing for easier docking. Large ships may need multiple bow thrusters.
Would like to know how a Master of a vessel can maneuver it using Z peelers?
This seems to be a name for one of the various types of Azimuth Thrusters.ship design and maneuverability This expedient is often not sufficient for low-speed maneuvering. For this reason, many ships are fitted with a "bow thruster," a propeller mounted in a transverse tunnel near the bow. This thruster can push the bow sideways without producing forward motion. If a similar thruster is fitted near the stern, a ship can be propelled sideways-or even rotated in place
Why rudder is not fitted forward of ship?
Every vessel has a pivot point or center where it turns the best. The stern of a vessel would be hard to control if the rudder was at the bow. When docking, if the rudder was at the bow, you would never be able to get the stern of the vessel to the dock. Once you got the bow to the dock or pier, there would be no way to control the stern to make it swing. Once the bow is at the dock, with the rudder at the stern, the force of water passing across it from the propeller will push the stern into or away from the dock relative to the angle of the rudder.
How must an operator measure the length of his vessel?
From the outside of the bow to the outside of the stern
Front of boat?
front of boat = bow (rhymes with cow) back of boat = stern
Why is it important to lower the anchor from the bow of the vessel instead of the stern?
Avoids taking on water, capsizing or swamping the vessel

What is the name of the front of a boat or ship?
