12. CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION 

 

Control panels should be protected from the natural elements while the thruster is not in 

use. 

Install  the  control  panel(s)  in  easily  accessible  positions,  without  obstructing  the  main 

engine and/or steering controls. 

When  fixing  the  panel  with  the  stainless  steel  screws,  make  sure  to  install  the  pre-cut 

rubber seal, as supplied with the panel, ensuring that it is in the correct place. 

 Only  when totally finished and satisfied with the  wiring and positioning of the unit, 

clip-on the face panel/cover. 

Please  note  that  panels  are  only  fully  waterproof  from  the  front,  if  installed  correctly. 

However  the  area  behind  the  dashboard  should  be  kept  dry  to  avoid  the  risk  of 

oxidization of the cable connecter contacts. 

For  full  control  panel  installation  instructions,  please  refer  to  the  "Installation 

Guidelines" as supplied with each control panel. 

 

13. TESTS 

 

 Activiating the thruster when the boat is out of the water, is not advised under 

any circumstances. 

Tests  must  be  carried  out with  the  boat  in  the water,  the  battery(ies)  charged  at 

100% and in charge, and the engines running. 

 

The maximum continuous operating runtime corresponds to S2-3mn norm.  

However, this can be affected by the ambient temperature.
