Remote Installation of the control box

EN

The electronic control box and its contact are the most sensitive parts on the thruster to water infl uence. It is our recommendation the control box is 

removed from the thruster and installed higher in the vessel. (NB: Included with the stern-thruster tunnel kit is an extension cable that will allow the 

remote installation of the control box.)

Procedure:

1. Replace the GREY and BLUE cables connected to the sides of the main solenoids with the GREY and BLUE cables on the extension cable.

2. Exchange the BLACK, BROWN and WHITE cables connected to the motor and solenoids with the BLACK, BROWN and WHITE cables on the 

extension cable.

3. Cut the zip tie holding the remaining RED and other cables commonly located behind the solenoid.  Leave the RED wires on the main solenoids and 

Cut only the RED cable connected to the control box.

4. Remove the electronic control box and its harness from the solenoid system on the thruster.

5. Install the electronic control box higher in the vessel where it will remain dry while docked and at sea. (NB: Install the control box that even in extreme 

fl ooding it will remain dry.)

6. Connect The extension cable to the control box and the AMP to the control panel.
