Contents

Motor: 

Custom made reversible DC-motor. 

Gearhouse:

 

Seawater resistant bronze. Ballbearing at propellershaft; combination of ballbearing and slide bearing at 

driveshaft.

Motor bracket:

 

Seawaterresistant aluminium.

Ignition protection:

  Conforms to ISO 8846

Propeller:

 

5-blade Skew-back design "Q-prop" propeller, reinforced composite.  

 

Batteries:

 

Minimum recommended battery capacity (cold crank capacity by DIN standard) 

SE60/185S 12V : 350 CCA DIN / 24V : 175 CCA DIN 

Max. use:

 

S2 = 3 min. or appr. 7-10% within a limited time frame. All electromotors are protected against overheating.

Safety:

 

Electronic time-lapse device protects against sudden change of drive direction. Electric thermal cut-off switch in 

electromotor protects against over heating (auto reset when electro motor cools down).

 

Shearpin between electro-motor and driveshaft protects electromotor and gearsystem if propeller gets jammed. 

 

If original Sidepower panel is used, the panel shuts off automatically 6 minutes after last use.

 

Integrated microprocessor monitors solenoids, reducing wear and risk of solenoid lock-in. Auto-stop of thruster in 

case of accidental solenoid lock-in or if run signal is continous for more than 3 minutes.
