The areas in which the electric motor of the bow thruster and
the battery are positioned must be dry and well ventilated.
4.1 Preparation
The bow thruster will be delivered fully as-
sembled. Perform the following steps:
• Remove the propeller.
• Remove all of the screws from the cover
in order to lift out all the packaging from
the motor housing.
• Loosen the 3 bolts (A) in order to lift the
motor and its housing from the interme-
diate flange.
Although shown separately in the dia-
gram, it is not necessary to remove the
packing (B) from the bolts (A).
• Remove the intermediate flange from the
tail piece.
The 2 bushes are only required for trans-
port and are now no longer needed.
4.2 Installation tailpiece and intermediate flange
• Ensure that the plastic shim plate (1) has been positioned on the
tail piece.
• Place one packing (2) between the tail piece and the tunnel.
• Apply a sealant (e.g. polyurethane or silicone) between the tail
piece and packing, and between the packing and the tunnel wall.
• Place the tail piece in the hole in the tunnel.
Any extra packings used should be ones capable of justifying the
tail piece.
