4.8 Bow thruster
CAUTION !
Any electrical work should be done by
skilled staff, aware of safety rules and procedures, and
equipped with appropriate tools and protective
equipment.
Read carefully electric drawings before proceeding any
repair.
Before operating the bow thruster, make sure that
nobody swims or dive nearby, and that no litter
floats around the propeller.
Any maintenance on the bow thruster should be done in
a harbour.
When the bow thruster is in the down position, watertightness is made with a rubber joint,
compressed with the weight of the motor. If the pin is easier to fit, it means the system need
to be tight a little bit, with the locknut under the covering.
Every 2 years, remove the bow thruster’s foot to change oil and apply an antifouling painting
system inside the well and on the foot.
0,3 l (approx. 0,066 Imperial Gallons) of S.A.E 90 oil are contained in the bow thruster.
Remove the stainless steel ring at the basis of the motor in the forward cabin, and unscrew
the four 8 x 40 screws.
Before removing the last screw, someone must stand under the hull to catch the bow
thruster’s foot.
Turn over this assembly, to empty it from its oil. Let it drain during an hour. If the oil contains
a lot of water, replace the lip joint. Then, turn the foot to its normal position and refill from the
top with 0,3 litres (approx. 0.066 Imperial Gallons, 0.080 U.S. Gallons) oil. Replace the
rubber joint.
Fit the foot and block it with the 4 screws, the braking washers and the clamping ring.
A few grease at the base of the motor will make easier the next removal.
4.9 Sails and furling systems
4.9.1 Sails
If the sail is wet, let it dry before store it into his bag.
For the ballooner and the mizzen ballooner (which are made of nylon), it’s better to put them
in the bag, without furling them.
At the end of the nice season, rinse all the sails with fresh water to clean them from salt.
a) Iron stain
-
use a 5 to 10 % hydrochloric acid solution,
-
use a ammonium fluoride solution (like PANAMAX).
b) Blood
