As a part of the seasonal service of your Thruster before every season, always check that:
• The propeller is fastened securely to the gear leg.
• Bolts holding the thruster components together are fastened securely.
• The area around the thruster is clean and dry. Ensure there are no signs of water.
• Paint the propeller and gear leg with antifouling before every season to keep it clean from sea growth.
(NB: Never paint the anode, sealings or
propeller shaft. Ensure paint does not enter the space between the propeller and the gear leg.)
• Change the zinc anode before every season, or when half the anode has eroded. Always use a sealant or thread glue on the holding screw to
ensure that it does not fall off .
(NB: In some water conditions, it may be necessary to install an extra zinc anode to ensure that it lasts for
the whole period between regular service lifts of the boat. Consult your dealer for information on how to do this.)
•
All electrical connections are clean and fastened fi rmly.
• Ensure that your batteries are in good condition.
*While running the thruster measure volt output is greater than
(10.5v) for 12v motors
(21v) for 24v motors
