Vertical Thruster
Introduction
The LBV
2
is fitted with four (4) identical thrusters. They can be interchanged to any position.
Each thruster is isolated from the main housing and other thrusters. They have a four (4) pin
connector for power and data. There is an o-ring seal around the connector.
Work Environment
Prior to beginning ensure you have a clean and dry workspace. Locate the required tools and
