INTRODUCTION
The thrust force created by a Lewmar Bow Thruster will cause a considerable
suction on one side of the vessel and turbulence on the other.
Care should be taken to ensure that there are no swimmers or divers in the
vicinity of the vessel when the Thruster is operated. Also check that there is no
visible floating rope, mooring lines, or timber etc, which could possibly be
ingested into the Thruster potentially damaging the Thruster unit.
The effectiveness of the bow Thruster is largely dependant on the following :
The position of the installation within the hull.
Depth of immersion achieved when fully deployed.
The power source available at the Thruster motor.
The position of the installation within the hull.
The Thruster should be installed as far forward as possible. The centre line of the
hub must be a minimum of 1.5 x propeller diameter below the water line.
Hydraulic power source.
Ensure the correct pipe bore sizes / pressure ratings are installed as per
hydraulic circuit drawing.
Keep the use of bends and elbow fittings to a minimum. Ensure the correct oil
type / grade is used (see separate data sheet ' Recommended Oils ').
The running time of the hydraulic Thruster is typically longer than the electric
version, and is largely dependent on the hydraulic system, tank size etc.
Continuous rating can be achieved with the use of oil coolers, larger oil reservoirs
etc.
