Planning Considerations and Precautions
EN
• If the height of the room you are installing the Side-Power is limited consider the three different confi guration designs.
- Angled
-Horizontal
-Vertical
• Do not install the thruster in a position where you need to cut a stiffener/ stringer/ support for the hull integrity without checking with the boat
builder this can be done safely.
• The motor, its components, contacts/ plugs or other joints in the control cables must be mounted so they will remain dry at all times.
• We advise painting the thruster with primer and anti-fouling.
(NB: Do not paint the anodes, sealing or propeller shafts)
• Do not fi nish the inside of the tunnel with a layer of gel-coat/ topcoat or similar. There is only room for a thin coat of primer and two layers of anti-
fouling between the tunnel and the props.
• Keep installation within advised measurements. The entire surface is hard coated seawater resistant aluminium. Do not damage/penetrate the coat.
• The oil tank is placed higher than the pumps to ensure enough gravity feed and pressure for feed ports.
(NB: The height of oil levels in the
hydraulic tank should be higher than the connected hydraulic pumps.)
• Find a suitable location for the hydraulic tank installation for future maintenance accessibility. There must be enough space around the oil tank to
change fi lters, fi ll oil and inspect gauges and indicators.
IMPORTANT
Stern mounted retract thrusters must not be installed to conflict with the main boat propellers or its water trail. (NB: consult a naval architect
for an exact position.)
