» Check that the 2 bolts securing the gear leg to the bracket is still
tight.
» Keep the propeller and gearhouse clean from growth by painting
with antifouling before every season.
NOTE!! The anodes, seals and propeller shafts must absolutely not
be painted. Do not get paint in the “tracks” in the gearhouse were
the propeller hub moves, and not on the threads for the propeller
nut.
» Change the anodes before every season, or when about half
the anode is gone. Always use thread glue on the screw holding the
anode to ensure it does not fall off. Please observe that in
some waterconditions it can be necessary to install an extra
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.
» As a part of the seasonal service of your boat, and before every
season, always check that:
• The propeller is securely fastened
• The bolts holding the electric motor to the motor bracket are
fastened correctly.
• The universal joint in the retract mechanism is lubricated
• Check for excess play in the break-away rings securing the actuator.
Spare rings are included from factory. If the actuator can be moved
more than 3 mm (ref. fig. 29) by manual force, replace the break-away
rings.
• The area where the thruster is installed is clean and dry. If there
are signs of water you must try to find the source and eliminate it.
• All electrical connections are clean and fastened firmly.
• Make sure that your batteries are in a good condition so that the
thruster gets a good voltage. Old or bad batteries will give a
reduced performance from the thruster.
