PROBLEM
The turbine retracts, but the alarm does not stop or the red light does not
illuminate.
PROBABLE CAUSE
An object such as a line, plastic bag, or other flotsam is caught
between the closing plate and the hull.
REMEDY
Raise and lower the unit a few times to see if the object clears. If it does
not, try to remove the object manually.
WARNING
Make sure that the system has been turned off at the main breaker,
before
putting your hand into the opening of the hull.
PROBLEM
The RETRACT will not Retract. (No reaction at all)
PROBABLE CAUSE
No power (24 v dc) to the Raise/lower unit.
REMEDY
Check the 20 amp or 15 amp fuse breaker in the control box,
Check that wire number 5 has power,
Check that power is available to the unit, by checking the voltage on wires
n° 21 & 22.
Check oil in the reservoir of R/L unit
Check joystick operation.
The RETRACT 300 is equipped with a manual override device (bar) which can be
used for raising the RETRACT turbine from the DOWN to the UP position. (Note : it
can also be used to lower the turbine. Lowering the turbine this way has no practical
use while at sea, but can be useful while on the dry ).
The manual override device is used in the event of failure of the Raise/lower unit or
its power supply, so that the RETRACT turbine may be raised manually. This will
enable the operator to continue his voyage in complete security, or raise the
RETRACT turbine while in port thereby maintaining the turbine unit in its light-tight
box and thus preventing marine growth.
PROBLEM
The transmission lube oil tank level decreases.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The propeller shaft oil seals are worn.
REMEDY
Change the seals at next haul out. In the meantime, fill the transmission
with 80 or 90 gear oil, and check the level often.
